I'm having a Rib Shack Red glass. All you experts will slander me

No idea GBOS, never tried it

I meant do post during the week that SV are doing PROC favey Marques de Riscal reserva for €15 a throw, that’s as cheap as you’ll see it anywhere and great value at that

Yessir.. Jaboulet makes superb wines

I’ve had his Cote Rotie and Crozes-Hermitage as well.. both excellent, put on the list

I have the Crozes Hermitage looking at me here. I picked up a box of the Cotes du Rhone on the holliers earlier this year. A very decent drop. I didn't want to be a complete knob in the previous post, but sher fuckit: Jaboulet is my favourite winemaker. I mean, he's dead and all, but you know what I mean.

Yeah, there's a whole clatter of them, but they founded the winery in the 1800s.

Lads, anyone familiar with Ceres from Haut Bages Liberal? The 2020 is on offer for 15.50 here. I'm tempted. Broke, but tempted.

Nope, 100% Merlot though so not sure I’d be going there.. love the Bordeaux blends with Merlot though

100% Merlot once it's Bordeaux isn't a game changer for me. I'll think about it. Price seems good and I haven't much French stuff.

Château de Lescours Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2019 - reduced to €22 (or so) a bottle in Curious Wines before Christmas.

A bit too grippy initially but opened up for the second glass. Second half of the bottle the day was more enjoyable.
