most of the time i can only afford 7/11's dustiest bottle of jacob's creek, but ive had some really great wine too.

i like chilean reds alot right now, but the best glass i ever had was from a bottle of

it's a cabernet shiraz merlot from Oz and it's amazing.

i only really like aussie wine cos if the shiraz.

but someone told me that places like vietnam, thailand and cambodia are trying to start cultivating grapes there. even in the higher regions i cant imagine how the grapes will handle the humidity.

Rioja

oh yes.

my favourite wine. i used to be mad for the red wine but since a glass or two makes me die the next morning, im more partial to white these days. generally a good Reisling or a Chablis(?). my favourite reds are mostly riojas. Grand Reservas & Crianzas.mmm. local wine in near family place in spain is 96c a litre and is fan-fuckin-tastic.

this is probably my favourite over all though its impossible to get here for a normal price... Lorinon:

Dashwood's Pinot Noir is pretty damn tasty.

oh i am a sucker for red wine.
especially cheap ones that aren't totally manky.
but i can never remember the names of the good ones.

white wine makes my chest feel like it's about to cave in.


riojas all the way!

I like dry white so id love to be able to drink sauvignon blanc from New Zeland the whole time, but i find they are always over a tenner so I always have to drink sauvignon blanc's from Chile which Im not to fond of but when your purchasing power is 6 euro and the local centra you dont have much choice. Oh I remember last year when the centra on the Quay in wexford was selling wine at 3.50 a bottle. Good times.

if you like dry wine chardonnay is more what you should look for as SB tends to be fruitier.

a nice buttery, oakey chardonnay will set ya right.
