[dustypuss]

do you think champagne is just snobbery
or is a tesco cava is just as good !

What's good to drink when you're having a cr@p week? I've got a box of pinot grigio in the fridge (except for the glassful of it that I'm holding already).

[winebuyer]

Hi joggy. Sorry you're having a bad week. What's the matter? Or shouldn't I ask?

[joggerjayne]

Aah, this and that. Just feeling sorry for myself. There's a good band on down at Joogleberry's in the town. I'd been planning to go, but I'm sitting at home feeling sorry for myself instead.

(pours herself another glass from the trusty wine box)

[winebuyer]

I've just Googled Joogleberry. It looks fun. Why not just head on down there. You might cheer up.

If you stay in, don't get too wrecked :-)

Hello dustypuss

Happy Birthday for yesterday. Glad you had a good night.

[winebuyer]

You're right Aprilis. "White" Zinfandel is pink. It comes from red grapes. It's rather pleasant. It seems to have secured a big place in the hearts of wine drinking Americans.
