I love wines paired with a meal at a fine dining restaurant, dont drink wine usually out side of restaurants.

Wish I was more knowledgeable as some wines I've had at friends house I've had before where awful.

Any you would reccomend to try?

I'm very far from knowledgeable, almost totally ignorant in fact, but one thing I've noticed is that the notion of red wine wish cheese is rubbish. Nothing more excitingly contrasting than a rich creamy cheese with a crisp sharp white wine or sparkling white. But that's hardly advice!

Tesco have a fab red. Chateau mezain it’s called. It’s normally €20 but every so often it goes half price that’s when I get a load. And sometimes with that offer you get 25% off when u buy 6!!!

I am currently enjoying a bottle of Gran Coronas cabernet sauvignon. Picked it up in the supermarket when I was getting a few cigars. Pleasantly surprised with it for only €15. That said our normal bottle is rare malbec which is very nice to drink. Like most a good French red is pretty hard to beat though.

Did a tour of Medoc and St.Emillion/Pomerol a good while ago. Love a full bodied aged Bordeaux like a St. Estelle, St. Julien or Margaux. On a budget I’d drink Cotes de Blaye or Cotes de Bourg (northern banks of the Gironde)

Currently enjoying a nice red, costers del prior 2017. It’s beautifully structured wine full of ripe fresh fruit with fresh acidity.

Impressed? Don’t be, I googled that shit. I’m drinking it because it’s been sitting in the cupboard for 2 months and I was too lazy to drag my hairy ass around to the off licence.

Check out Soma on Netflix.. i love my wine but its brilliant

Some absolute shyster posed as a wine expert in the power circles of Hollywood

Made a killing going to party's, bringing special wines, basically if you were someone and had a party this dude was the icing on the cake...

Not gonna spoil it but the ending is Fucking brilliant

Let's just say its a case of the Emperor's new clothes

Fiver Aldi specials going for thousands
