Ooh. Are those cleanskins worth getting?

yes, great mid week quaffers, I think there was 3 corked out of the 12 I bought, the 91 and 96 are my pick out of the 4. the 90 might have past its peak but could be just my bottles.

Now here is a place to drink some nice wine at very reasonable prices. Port Victoria Hotel, Port Victoria.

Couple of wines I took to Thai last night. The Pewsey Vale is in a really good spot right now.

IMNSHO this Tassie Chardonnay is singing and will continue to for awhile yet

I can't find a wine that seems to suit Thai food and usually stick with Singha

I assume you have tried a dry Riesling ? other wise beer is good

To be honest, I’ve never found this a problem.

I usually go for Viognier or Riesling. Grenache works too with Asian and other spicy foods.

Thanks, I hadn't considered Grenache. It could be a good pairing

Off-dry whites are a great match. The slight sweetness offsets the heat nicely. Spatelese level German Rieslings or something like the Grosset Alea. Gewurtztraminer is another good match.

With a red curry, try a sparkling red. Also a great match for Indian food in general.

Gamay goes well.

Used to enjoy them on regular basis but it’s been a while since I had proper aged champagne either on the ground or in the air. Very good drop this LGD. Gosh I miss flying...

Rockford Frontignac would work well too.
