Right now a very nice 2009 Rioja . . .

There are so many names on the label (and my Spanish so non-existent) that I couldn't tell you its name. \it has a whiff of port on the nose and is quite dry. Interesting flavour.

Latter we have both apple and cinnamon vodka to try.
VELOMANCER

Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.

Elbow 'Build a Rocket Boys' beer from Robinson's brewery, presumably down Salford way.

It's rather nice  :)

Also the song is very good.  Guy Garvey's voice is fab.

Right now a very nice 2009 Rioja . .

I had a very nice 2009 rioja with lunch yesterday. £6/bottle from lidl! Very fruity and light, but not watery. Yum!

Then followed it with Xmas spiuced vodka and rum. I had overdone the spicing, so adding of mixers was required.

Robinsons are in Stockport.
Try the Trooper that they also make; it's made in conjunction with Iron Maiden.

The water is off due to a burst 'very large water pipe'.

I'm about to make some cocoa.

Edit:  I was somehow intercepted by a bottle of Laphroaig on my way. I am now drinking Laphroaig with cocoa chasers.

Macon Rouge out of my 10L Bag in box brought back yesterday from the winemaking coop in Charnay Les Macon, at £3 / litre. You would not be unhappy paying about £7 a bottle for it.

Port, LBV.

Now on The Wine Society Exhibition Tawny port. I prefer it to the LBV which was a bit too syrupy for my taste.

Nothing, yet. Need to ferry food and family to a party, then bring the car home. After that, though, all bets are off!
