Kid Dynamite 7029 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 It's shit being a non drinker on a night out. You go to Tyneside Cinema and they have about 15 varieties of traditional soft drink to pick from. Gan to a 'bar' and its lemonade or rola cola out of the pump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33212 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 It's shit being a non drinker on a night out. You go to Tyneside Cinema and they have about 15 varieties of traditional soft drink to pick from. Gan to a 'bar' and its lemonade or rola cola out of the pump Here's a little tip. When I worked at a certain local brewery, I'd take an empty can of coke in with my bait. I'd then take a bottle of Broon up to the bait room kitchen, fill a mug with the Broon ale then sit in plain sight with my mug of broon ale with the empty can strategically placed near the cup with a bit of broon ale round the rim of the can of coke to make it look freshly poured pop instead of an actual 'icer' as we called them*. You could sneak a bottle of any of your carefully selected 15 varieties of soft drink into a bar, take an empty can of stella and do the reverse and still keep your cool credentials. *Most times I just necked the bottle out of the way like everybody else, though.

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Usually a Merlot man but thought I'd give a white a whirl tonight. Absolutely no idea weather this is any good or not. Can't even remember if it's Chardonnay or Chablis that I prefer. Bottoms up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Merlot and Chardonnay are types of grapes. Chablis is an AOC and a village in the north of Bourgogne and the grape that grows there is Chardonnay. It tends to be unoaked and is therefore acidic and fresh rather than fruity and oaked. The top Chablis does get some oak treatment but it's usually fermented in steel vats which allows it to retain a mineral taste. It's by far my favourite white wine. The Grand Crus are very reasonable at around 50 a bottle, I have 6 ageing until 2017-2020. Don't know much about Aus wine but that Wolf Blass is oaked and fruity which is a different style to a Chablis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4725 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Well it went down very well. Have to partake in a Chablis this week to compare. (Unlikely to be £50 a bottle though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35082 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) New World Chardonnay bears little resemblance to Chablis. Interesting to make the comparison though. But, I don't tend to like New World Chardonnays whereas I do like Chablis. Edited August 12, 2015 by Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I'm more of a Riesling kind of guy when it comes to whites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21923 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Riesling is my favourite white. But it has to be the dry, minerally variety. Unoaked Chardonnay is lush as is Chablis. I did a wine tasting tour of the Santa Barbara county vineyards a few years backs. The pinto noir or there is superb, their Chablis less so.

ChezGiven 0 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 There's no such thing as Santa Barbra Chablis. It's a town in France and an AOC meaning only wine made in that town is allowed to use the name. It is confusing wine terminology tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's like a mother from an Enid Blyton book and you'd all be ashamed of your behaviour if you met her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
