Tonight I have been mostly drinking

[Harryburgundy]

..Burgundy of course....with a few modern pretenders...pah, gauche New World wines make me gag....the Felton Road was aweful

2004 Yerring Station Yarra Valley Pinot Noir...pretty good
2006 Saint Aubin 1er Cru Patrick Miolane...better than good
2003 Lemelson Theas Selection Willamette Valley Pinot....clumsy fat Pinot
2007 Savigny Les Beaune 1er Crus Les Serpentieres Domaine Jean Jacques Girard...very good
2002 Au Bon Climate Santa Maria 'La Bauge Au-Dessus' ...very good (for a New World Pinot)
1995 Santenay 1er Cru Les Gravieres Remoissenent..bit stinky and peaked..interesting
2000 Felton Road Central Ortago NZ....I couldn't drink it...smelt like Bloody Mary Mix...too thick too powerful too everything.
1997 Beaune Greves Remoissenet....beautiful...classic burgundy

and still sober enough to write this....hick!

Balance South African Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.

£4.99 from the Co-Op, an acceptable TV watching wine.

What's your opinion on Chateau Musar? The re.

The Co-op have really uped the ante with their wine selection...some good stuff there.
Chateau Musar?...well, I ususally find 'cult' wines underdeliver or rest on their laurels whilst there are much better wines at better value (Cloudy Bay for example...really not that good any more and silly expensive...but no...that's the one people have heard of and that's the one they want to buy).
But Ch. Musar...yup...love it. Always delivers, great with plenty of bottle age...a bit dirty...volatile etc, but always a pleasure.

Rhone wines are my drink of choice. Which is lucky as I have a cellar full of them.
