right this is the best tip you will ever get on wine

if it cost £100 a bottle and you dont like it it,s a bad wine
if it cost £2.99 a bottle and you like it its a good wine

and here endith the lesson it all personal choice and eat what you like with it as long as it dosent kill the flavour of the wine or what your eating with it, their surpose to complement each other. :lol:

My taste in wines is decidedly unrefined! I love a big full-flavoured Australian red with lots of body. Shiraz seems to be the grape variety that does it for me. A wine for drinking sitting by an open fire with a big fat book and the soundtrack to 'Local Hero' (my favourite film) playing in the background - This music to be replaced, as the evening wears on and the empties mount up, by Rodrigo's Concerto D'Aranjuez, to which (although it is of course an instrumental piece) I might be inspired to sing along, beating time with a near-by stuffed toy.

No I used to love red wine whats that one em Chateau neuf thingy love that one....but cant drink em now!
and to be honest could do with cutting out the wine consumption! the neighbours are startin to wonder where all these bottles that appear in their bins come from.... tum ti tum.... 8)

The music you mention need to listen to that which brings me to music ......I would like to put some really great classical stuff on the music of BCC getting bit fed up with the music on there now. So if you know of any I will set up a playlist for pop, classical and em Robbies old rubbish and will change em every now and again.

So I like Mozart most of them not too keen on the opera stuff

Sounds good, Peter.

NL, most of the Aussies males of my acquaintance are a little too full-bodied ... and a bit shiny on top rather than blonde. But, hey, I can fix you up with one of those no worries ... Want to come over for Christmas? :grin: :grin:
