A friend of mine used to work in Verling's off-license in Clontarf. They used to send him on wine-tasting courses all the time. He only ever recommended one wine to me: Barolo. Tastes lovely, and gives a really relaxed drunk feeling (the way I'm sure Dean Martin felt 24/7). Little more expensive though - 15-20 bucks a bottle. But worth it.

I drank this French wine called Chenet recently which is very nice,
think it's a Cabernet, the bottle neck is slighly crooked.
Nice not as de-hydrating as other red wines I've tried.

*also handy hint don't use wine as a mixer for Vodka*
they don't go I speak from experience.
taste good at the time but not soo good coming back up!

A nice Ruffino Chianti*. A friend of mine found some in Supervalu (I think) in Kimmage or something. It's lovely stuff.

Also, someone who knows wine brought a bottle of something called Tanguero to my house once. Definitely up there with the best reds I've had, though I have no idea where to find it. Don't know if it was cheap, either.



*No relation, unfortunately.

a cheeky little number this; a delicate arouma mixed with a controlled simple taste.
An elegant delight, 9/10.

Palacio de la Vega is nice. Spanish like. Red.
Dunnes' fiver-a-bottle white stuff is surprisingly okay.

Hollywood wine from Tesco is gorgeous.

The English wine, Nobility, has a very nice "clear" wine (basically a white wine). It's both economical and will get you plastered.

Fred Murray is the guy to talk to about wine though.

Or my new mate Craig. But you don't know Craig.

Ha ha, remember when we got this stuff, and we were like, "We're gonna be famous!" and the cashier in Tesco was like, "And I'll say 'I knew you when...'"

Where's our number one hit, though?

We hit number one in Azerbijan with "Top of the Marnin' me ladee". They love Irish pop music over there.

Cool - I've been wondering where to buy organic wine. Had some once in a restaurant and it was like magic wine - no hangover.

I currently can't stop drinking Domaine des Anges' rose - a really dry rose for €8 - which is made by an Irish guy who fecked off to live on a vineyard in France. Anyways, I've been drinking this stuff everyday now for the past few months. Then the bastard Irish Times goes and does a fantastic review of the wine and now it's permanently out of stock in me local offy.

Wine is a rubbish drink anyway, it's for posers and priests. Amen.

Papa Mac (i.e. My Da) has an extensive wine cellar he houses in his garage, reds on one side, whites and champers on the other. So in fact it's a wine garage, really. Bit like a beer carpark. Anyway he can be usually called upon to provide deadly booze so I always ask him what's what. I poisonally like white the most, and drink endless bottles of muscadet (oh, so delicious), pinot grigio, dry italian whites and chablis when I can afford it.

I am also a fan of 2 for 11 from the local offy, so I am an equal opportunities pisshead.

O'Brien's do a lovely organic white wine, I think it's called Domaine d'Olivette. It's quite strong, but no hangover.
