I have a bad cold. However, I could taste the lovely Shepherd's Pie that Flossie made for tea. I can also smell and taste orange juice, tea and coffee. But all i'm getting from this is dry, slightly grassy white wine.

I cannot smell a thing. Everyone else is purring at both smell and taste. Is it me or are they just teasing me.

Buggers !

Will have to buy another bottle.

Cos it's only £5.99, they imagine all this hype. If the '10 don't smell now, it'll be knackered in the Spring.

BTW....For the idle chattering classes, who acquire their dinner party nosh prepacked at Waitrose:

Craggy Range Old Renwick MSB '09 and '10 is on offer at £9.99. (3 knickers off )

Is Mrs Goose called Flossie? That's very Beatrix Potter. Nice. Spect your surname isn't actually Goose though.

Just been tasting Affordable Fizz. The champagnes shone, the cavas didn't, the Proseccos were dire and Underraga Rose Spk was like kir. Need to check the back label for ingredients.

Mel, was the Sainsburys TTD Prosecco in your line up? Opinion?

GK,
Mrs Shez had a bottle of the ttd Prosecco the other week which I tried.
All I recall is it tasted of pear.
Not really my cuppa but she liked it as she's gone and bought another bottle

Second bottle.

Sweet commercial pap.

Like MSB blended with Blue Nun.

Even Bacchus the ArchBlender wouldn't stoop so low.
