Re: [LU] Satdi
I managed to build up a half decent collection of wine 20 odd years ago because friends of mine had a 13th Century farmhouse with huge dry-stone vaulted cellars. They live 20 odd km from where I lived so there was no "by gum that wer a grand bottle, lets bring oop another one" (my first "cellar" in the UK only lasted until a particulary boozy night with an alcky friend). I moved and bought a house with 2 stone vaults, got up to 900 bottles (all good good stuff BTW) then moved here - to a modern house, with a modern cellar - only to end up pouring more than 300 bottles down the drain and taking the enamel off my teeth with another 300. I've not got the money to vin de garde anymore, for the bottles I lost, I got a bit back on the insurance - the so called expert agreed that the auction value of the last 300 was 14 000€... I got 1980€ back. All that too long story to say that you can dream about a cellar, but don't buy one built after the war, its not worth it :( Damian PS I think at least some of the Lards have drunk the odd bottle in my Pussay cellar (the 2 vaults...) - this is going to bring on another mail On Sat, Nov 30, 2013 at 7:01 PM, Richard walker wrote: > 'From the cellar ' ??? > > It's my ambition in life to have a wine cellar. > > > > Sent from my iPad > > > On 30 Nov 2013, at 17:45, Damian Walsh wrote: > > > > Just opened a '08 Capitan-Gagnerant Cotes de Nuits Villages.

Didn't go to the match, probably would have done if it wasn't my daughters birthday today. Glad I didn't , lots of mates did and I've spoken to a couple who said we were poor and really can't understand how Pugh is being picked (surely we know all about this bloke by now) and also how can Byram be on the bench?

[LU] Thoughts turn to Lardy things....
I've played for a "new" veterans team for a year now. When not drunk or hung-over the team is seriously good - certainly the best team I've ever played more than one match for ;) The best thing about them is the spirit on and off the pitch. You don't often need a referee in their matches but you always need an extra day in the weekend. Anyway. They (I can switch to "we" now) are coming to London at the end of May and are trying to set up a match or two. I've got a contact who can provide a team and a pitch. The thought is there... Would the Lards like to come and make up a threesome? (or nominate a young, well proportioned blonde for similar ;) Damian PS an of course the invitation is always open for the Lards to come out here whenever they want.. ___ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER

Re: [LU] Satdi
BTW, there is an element of social engineering from Google here. With the new Gmail set up, any mail that Rich sends about Becchio goes somehow magically into "Forums" - we can happily talk about football there. However when Rich mentions wine, the mail goes into "Primary" so we can talk freely about the finer things in life that for a brief period around the turn of the century, the working classes could afford. This is probably a dastardly plot by Google to identify all those who are worth spamming with Sunday Times Wine Club offers..

Re: [LU] Satdi
Ok, here's my opinion of Rioja. I'm no expert, but for me Rioja is such a strong taste that you either like it or not. I have a mate who loves Spain who reckons that when you get above £20 for a bottle of Rioja the tastes start to get complex and subtle. Never spent that much mysen so can't comment but you're Rioja's in supermarkets / wine shops are just too samey for me. As for Luke Varney, he ain't got enough about him to compare to a bottle of Rioja from Aldi.

Spanish wines are ace. AU wines are ace too. had a fantastic "champagne" made in the US once. I suggest borders/passports dont mean much when it comes to wine and food.

Re: [LU] Satdi
I'm not surprised about the French being scared of Spanish wine. A Castillo d'Ygay gran reserva is the equal of any Bordeaux 1r cru (Lafite, Latour, Mouton, Margaux, Cheval Blanc, Ausone Haut Brion & La Mission de Haut Brion), it's enjoyable years before the Bordeaux and will out last any modern French wine by a good 20 years. In 2005 the Ygay cost approximately a 15th of the price of its French counterparts. Unfortunately its now almost impossible to get hold off and I all with many others have burnt my fingers mistakenly buying Finca d'Ygay. Going down the scale, 5/6€ on a Vina Mayor Ribero del Douro is unmatchable anywhere... .. but then again there are those awful memories of 70s & 80s Valdepenas ;) Damian I was in a fairly typical greasy spoon style restaurant near to Pamplona (or was it Vitoria?...) Just gone over to the Euro, and it was 8€ the menu. However they had a wine list that had every Ygay from 1927 (and a few such as the 1918 from before), and every Vega Sicilia from the early 30s. I drank a late 60s (67, 68?) Ygay at a very reasonable 40odd quid.

Re: [LU] Satdi
Hi, The mother in law comes from a village 15km from Haro (the La Rioja wine capital) so whilst I know fek all about wine I've been to a lot of bodegas. Anyhow, from the little I do know I'd say EVERYTHING you see in a supermarket be it in Spain or abroad from La Rioja is largely pish. The big bodegas sell the average stuff only to the chains and the medium to small ones simply don't sell to them at all as the margins are tiny. My french colleague (who is a top lad btw) always says the Riojas are just pure vanilla (ie additives/preservatives) and he does have a point but if you like that ... The threshold here from the bodega itself is €8-10 upwards (ie really drinkable) and €20+ from a bodega that won't sell to a supermarket will be cracking. Also, Ribeiro del Duero are also great for reds and white Albariño from Galicia is unbeatable. My sincerest apologies to those uninterested in wines... But when they lose in front of 6800 away fans, ye might as well digress. ;-) BMW --- Original Message --- From: "Richard walker" Sent: 30 November 2013 21:51 To: "Brendan" Cc: "Damian Walsh" , "leedslist" Subject: Re: [LU] Satdi Ok, here's my opinion of Rioja.

Re: [LU] Satdi
I've found as I've got older my tastes Have become slightly more sophisticated. For a evening in, in front of a roaring radiator, I like a good peaty scotch. For a day time piss up I find you can't beat a vanilla spiced rum as a chaser with a pint, whilst on an evening lash I stick to jack Daniels and coke, as it's easy to order when rat arsed JD Coke mate... My partner (I hesitate to use the term girlfriend as she's 37 and I'm 48, so she's neither a girl and she's not thar friendly) is going to be giving birth to our first son (we already have a daughter) , in the next 4 weeks, so she's been off the alcohol for about 9 months, however she did like a drop of the old vino, so I'd like to get her a nice bottle to go with her stitches and stretch marks...
