I like the crossed legs - they must be in a hurry :shock:

I've seen similar signs at a nearby cinema.

Actually, freezer at -20 gives yummy drumsticks!


Proper measurement matters.

Anti-Merlot vaccine?

WHY!? There is really no reason to joke about such a serious matter!! :mrgreen: That would be like the end of the world as we know it! ...

Merlot is a filler grape - its strong taste has been long been used to cheaply mask poor red wine.

It is rare that I have found wine with Merlot in it worth the trouble.

Its popularity among some this century I put down to clever marketing (or differing/noveau palates).

So I don't need a vaccine, just a label clear enough to read so I can avoid it.

But they are Chinese, not Russian.

On the other side of the door is a sign in Finnish.

I resemble that! I know nothing about red or white (still) wines. I quite like merlot :shock:

I guess I was Weaned on Rutherglen Big reds back in the 70's/80's. Back then you'd find many a merlot or Pinot noir chilled.

So I am guessing you loved this scene from the film Sideways?

Isn't there a wine lovers forum? :mrgreen:

Lies.

I actually leave the house very infrequently (generally it takes so long to go home between drinks )

90mm of rain has fallen at NTL this morning causing the roof to collapse. Airport now closed and likely no more flights today.

Doesn't look pretty. Replacement boat services available?

Looks like flights are coming and going. Still a bit of rain around NTL.

Just got my credit card statement and don't recognise two of the business names.

Surely it should be mandated that the name on the store front is used on the credit card statement?

It would be so much easier to check your statement for incorrect charges.

Possibly but business name and trading names are often different.
