Distant Doonhamer Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 It's from Majestic. I was a bit worried about trying it with smoked salmon pate and bread, then a lobster dish (see nom page for photo!) but it really worked well. Down side - £17. Definitely worth it, though.Sounds good. Very happy to pay £17 for a good quality Zinfandel. As it happens heading to Majestic this weekend. Not sure if you are a Pinot Noir fan but if so the Bread and Butter Pinot from Majestic is fabulous. It’s from California and generally £13.99 but regularly reduced to £11.99. The similarly priced Bread and Butter Cabernet Sauvignon is very good too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 The Scottish beer section of the new Aldi in Leith is absolutely empty. Total shelf clearance. Gutted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I see some posts got deleted. Only one needed to be, although my tremendous gif may not have had any context then! Anyway, Fanta Lemon, which I'm delighted to say is becoming more readily available again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Tonights tipples following a steak baguette will be a bottle of Montepulciano, followed by a Westmalle Dubbel, Fierce Brewing NEIPA, Drygate/Fierce Chocolate Peanut butter stout, and Weihenstephaner Weissbier. Genuine excitement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I'd highly recommend getting a bottle of the Ola Dubh from the current range to anyone who hasn't tried it yet.Rounded off the evening with a bottle of the Ola Dubh last night. Very nice although with the alcohol content and strong taste, I couldn't drink a lot of it. Reminded me a bit of Mcewans Champion Ale but with a bit more bite due to the whisky barrels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 This Westmalle Dubbel is dangerous. Doesnt taste the 7(?)% abv at all. Very very nice. Havent really explored Belgian beer much so trying to make a conscious effort to seek it out. Very pleased with this one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely stuff though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a couple of pints of Paulaner Oktoberfest tonight. Superb. Tonight I went for a pale ale from Polly's Brew Co called "Simply the Manifest". It is superb. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I had a "treacle toffee" stout earlier. If it hadn't been £4.10 a pint It would be a very grim morning... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
