Coral Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Searching the super market wine shelves yesterday for something palatable to go with dinner and the weather I found a white wine with 'sell by' date. --- Californian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I am always amused by the sulphates warning on US wines; there's more in orange juice!Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirac18 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Wouldn't dream of buying Californian wine here in ANJOU, one of the finest wine regions on Earth. It wouldn't go down well with the locals plus I just don't think it tastes as good as local produce. There is something very satisfying about consuming the wine I know my friends and neighbours have worked so hard for for generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Posted September 23, 2004 Author Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hi, generally I would agree with you but have you ever tried an Opus One but then that is a joint venture with Baronne Phillippine de Rothschild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirac18 Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 My dad used to make some excellent wines at home from anything from parsnips to damsons. It really was nice stuff but strong enough to kill a horse!We used to mix it to make a punch with a bit of cider and lemonade. We called it SWINE, a bit of a play on words but it truely was a swine - two glasses and I was anyones!!Does any one have a good recipe for an unusual home made wine.
