Malbec tonight with my duck confit. This is one of my favourite Malbecs and I can only buy it in my Co-Op.
What are you drinking tonight?

Had a nice cold bottle of Erdinger Alkoholfrei. Well, I like it, anyhow!
Chenin Blanc with my winner winner.
Cheapie Pinot with our Rosbif. It’s not bad actually. The dog's always asking for a sip but she's only ten so she'll have to wait a bit.

Back in the day my folks ran a pub ( about 200 yards from Motties bench) after closing time our dog was let out for his night time doings, he always liked to lick the tops of beer bottles in the returns crate & the occasional saucer of slops.Cheapie Pinot with our Rosbif.

Fame at last!
Sainsbury’s house Chardonnay tonight - Mrs Mottie has taken over the weekly Friday shop while I'm, er, indisposed, working! 12.5% is her limit. 
With our Fish & chips tonight, I had a bottle of Spitfire and I treated Mrs Mottie to Lidl's version of 'Aperol Spritz'. Bitterol Sprizz! Actually, she said it tasted quite nice.
I saw your photos and it prompted me to open and bottle of my homebrew barley wine, made late last year. They tasted a bit thin when I first sampled one, just after bottling, so I have ignored them since. Now it's tasting much better, more body..
Abusive posts? In a light hearted thread? What’s up with people?
Finished off some Prosecco while cooking the Sunday roast and then started on a bottle of Alvarinho. I cooked extra sprouts, spuds and parsnips so that I can have some bubble with my egg and bacon for tomorrows breakfast after my dog walk. With a bit of luck, there may even be a glass or two of wine left over to wash it down with.

Minted lamb chops, onion gravy, cauliflower cheese, yorkie pud, roast potatoes, mashed, cabbage and sprouts for dinner. The cauliflower was a bit underdone, so ended up in the bin. served with a glass of my home made. I have started making too much mash, cabbage and now spouts too, to make bubble & squeak for other meals - I am just having some now with some shredded, peppered sliced beef mixed in.
I'm almost out of the last vintage, will probably be dipping into the new by the end of this coming week.
I'm planning to go out for another carvery tomorrow, I hit the place mid afternoon last week, delayed due to appointments - and so half expecting their carvery to be rather dried out under the lights, but no - it was absolutely fine. Each pot of veg had a 1/2 pound block of butter plonked on top, which seemed a bit excessive.
How come some carveries put there food under such fierce lights, it dries their veg out and completely ruins it?
