No airs and graces here. I quite like a glass of merlot etc but I prefer a nice crisp chilled white to relax with. Sauvignon blanc / suave / chablis or some similar supermarket plonk being the wine of choice in our house. I do get a case from Naked Wines every so often and prob get more from Majestic. I will at this point say that we tend to prefer Chilean to NZ SB.
Whalley wine shop is good but parking is a problem whilst Burns in Clitheroe is probably the best of all but that represents a case of putting pearls before swine to a lager lout like yours truly.

I know one of the brothers at Byrne's wines in Clitheroe.
I'm no connoisseur but I usually go in and say to him " 6 bottles of red around a tenner each".
He comes back with some weird stuff I would never have picked (or heard of) but he's not let me down yet.
Wine is strictly for drinking with a meal for me - I can't do a night just drinking wine - it knocks me out!

I love a nice rich Pedro Ximinez Sherry. Really sweet and ideal with vanilla ice cream. This is the best, about £32 per bottl.
Amazing shop isnt it? It's like a tardis.

Yep. Looks like just a little shop when looking through the window and then you go through the doorway in the corner...

All at sea as far as wine’s concerned . I have the WotWine app which I use to buy white wine for the wife from which ever supermarket I’m in at the time . Like WB , tend to drink wine at a meal and don’t mind a nice red . Last one was a Malbec at Christmas. Unlike WB , I pay a lot less than £10 a bottle !
Whilst shopping I tend to buy bottles of pale ale - got 4 bottles of Circadian Every Day IPA last week in ASDA .

No wonder it's 32 quid, look at the age, 30 years +

I’m quite partial to a decent Cabernet Sauvignon.
Conversely. My car's only worth a sixth of what I paid for it half a dozen years ago. It's certainly not gone up in value.

I wasn't aware that they made wine in Houghton - wonder if it's anywhere near the Boar's Head?

When it comes, I'll scan the label for you. Sadly you won't be able to taste the contents.
I'll bet the Mrs likes it.
