Woolworths!!!?????

[Bazile]

I think talbot lives in Germany - perhaps there are Wollworths in Germany

[murraymints]

we don't even have Woolies !

[Mamyalynne]

Reviews are coming in a bit low, wouldn't get too many.

A lot of shops that we once knew still exist in various places Europe. C&A is another one.

[Mamyalynne]

eg 3/5

//I expected something worse. But it is definitely not the worst wine I ever had. It sure tastes... extraordinary - that doesn't have to be a bad thing though. A strong taste of fir in it, the sourness is alright. If you don't expect too much, you might want to buy it for an unpretentious evening.//

There are Woolworths in South Africa. Similar to our M&S. I don't know if Talbot is there.
Talbot, if I were there I'd clear the shelf.

Whats 'fir' ?

[-Talbot-]

I would never pay 13 :99 but 1:99 ....
I will be 50 miles away tomorrow so it is now or never.

a tree?

[Bazile]

Or course - lol

But how does wine taste like a fir tree ?

[albaqwerty]

when you're pine-ing for a glass Baz.

[Mamyalynne]

Seems to be strongly connected to the origin of the word Tannin.

It makes me smile at some of the tastes that some people get from a wine .

I recall Jilly Goolden describing one as - ' a bit of the trodden foot '

[jno]

indeed, alba, if Talbot is going to be fir away he'd better get it now.

Maybe it means a sort of resiny taste, like retsina?

Average price 1.77 ,,, thanks Mamya, seems they are trying it one. Just going to get the one bottle to satisfy my curiosity .

You're right about the glasses Baz.
