Who said wine was bad for you

Followed by a Chocolate Orange ...... that should cover our 'five a day'

With blackberry and apple wine for pudding...hooray!

Well who wouldve thought I could have a balanced meal out of a glass.. lol

You'd probably need a slug of parsnip wine too helshea, to make sure you're getting some veg towards your 5 a day.

So does that mean if i have potato wine i only need to eat the meat with it?

Love the lifestyle Burgundygran

I might have a go at making coffee wine glassortwo but it will be 9/12 months before a taster is ready to be emailed!

Set me thinking though......if wine made of coffee can prevent hangovers, what other combos may have beneficial outcomes?

Would wine made with oranges (all that Vit. C) stop you from getting colds?
Or Devils Claw wine to ease arthritic knees?

Any other ideas?

My idea of heaven cheers

Living in Burgundy it is compulsory to drink wine or include it in cooking (or both at the same time like this week!) The children have a glass too our 7 yr old grandson prefers a glass of red whilst grandaughter of 10 likes a sweet white.

Santé

Its as good an excuse as any I suppose, give it a try, well will do your testing for you

That got me thinking glass Just googled...and found a recipe to make coffee wine. Tastes a bit like Tia Maria apparently. So would drinking wine made from coffee prevent hangovers I wonder?

Think she might need a strong coffee and a headache tablet.

Morning helshea hope your head's ok.

Mn seems to haven broken again

<joins in with the wine tasting>

glassortwo , glad your wine tasters arrived safely and hope there wasn't too much splash-back on the keyboard.
Thanks for your reviews, you clearly have a very good nose.

No. Clicked on the smiley at end of message, but it didn't show up.

It might arrive in the second delivery twizzle, did get a hint of ponies, but didnt want to offend notsogrand but think it adds to the flavour.
Did you sort your smileys out?

Think my taster must have got lost in cyberspace !!
I'll just have to make do with a Baileys until I go shopping.

ps. glassortwo - did the 2010 New Forest Blackberry have a hint of 'ponies' about it ? (re: wild bushes grazed by ponies)

2010 Rose Petal :- It has an attractive bright rose petal pink colour which gives way to a soft floral perfume which abounds on the palate blending with a tasty fresh bon bon character. It is nicely balanced with plenty of rich flavour; and has modest alcohol too boot. The rich flavour persists in the mouth as long-flavoured primary fruit with the faintest hint of complexing aromatic spice.
score out of ten

2010 New Forest Blackberry:- Juicy, fruit packed red with supple bramble and blackberry fruit, soft, creamy tannins and a lip smacking finish
score out of 10

Well hope I dont get done for drinking and driving got to go to nursery now, will finish dregs when I get back

Am now off to collect grandson from nursery and an afternoon of joy. Will check back later for 'reviews'

OK glassortwo I will email you a taster and cc helshea
Here goes. The wine will be sent as an attachment in shatterproof sealed top glasses
First, my pride and joy, a 2010 Rose Petal. Mainly made from roses in my garden (plus a carrier bag full of rose heads scrounged from local garden centre ) It is a beautiful blush pink, smells divine and is 12% proof. Perfect at room temperature or chilled.
Second, and for the connoisseurs out there, the one and only 2010 New Forest Blackberry. From wild bushes grazed by ponies. Deep red, deeply delicious and 14% proof. Treat with respect.
I hope your attachment arrives safely. Enjoy!

Notsogrand think we should have an email tasting, and having had lots of experience in wine tasting I will give you an honest opinion.
