What are you drinking right now?

Lucky you! A cup of tea (no alcohol allowed on my ship, even when off duty ) whilst listening to the same album. Struggling to get into it, unlike the first two. Perhaps it will grow on me?

A pot of joghurt, followed by what's left from yesterday's bottle of Condrieu(viognier from the Rhone).

I rarely drink port but I bought a bottle of Niepoort just yesterday: 1994 Quinta do Passadouro. (amongst other things).

Mine is the 2004 variety but it is going down very nicely.

Nah, sharing with friends.

unlike me just polishing off the bottle surfing rather aimlessly, still it's a while since I've done this

A cup of tea.

You have my sympathy Mark,
especially as your workplace sounds the perfect location for a drink!

'Third' is excellent, but a 'grower' IME, so keep at it.

The Niepoort '97 VP was lovely,
but I'm now drinking lots & lots of water!

Cup of tea ATM, Sainsburys' Pinotage last night. Very nice but some strange bits at the bottom.

Sediment is a good indicator of a wine that has been made well & not messed around,
so good news IME.

As I've said many times, my 'What are you listening to' thread was itself a copy!


To answer the question posed by this thread, nothing, but judging by the time (and the rather frustrating e-mail I just received) I think a cup of tea is called for.

On a related note, can anyone recommend a good cognac.

What is your budget Tam?

I suppose around £30 for a bottle, but I'm willing to go higher if it's worth it.

Had a pint of Tanglefoot after a history ramble around our local preservation area.

No matter what time of the day it has to be

Perfert beer to finish off a day spent pottering around the garden.

Hi Tam

Tricky to say if it would be worth it.
Is this your 1st dabble with Cognac?
If so suggest you have a read of this ....

'Cognac' from BBR.com

More or less, so I don't really have a ballpark figure. I was at a wedding recently were they served either brandy or cognac after the meal and I rather enjoyed it.

My budget was based largely on that gets a decent single malt (which I know much better). Perhaps I'm better off exploring brandy rather then cognac at that price?

Thanks for the link.

regards, Tam

Two pints of Stella's finest chemical brew yesterday at Devil's Dyke after a baking hot 4 hour walk in the surounding countryside - despite being Stella, it was cold and most welcome!

Now I'm sat at a table avoiding work (which I must do!) and supping a glass of pure orange juice with sparkling water - very refreshing!

this rather nice Côtes-du-Rhône Villages
