all we need is our Kaiser Sauzee and we're sorted then
Hey, you run a wine shop right? I was in Croatia in the summer and had some of the best red wine I've ever tasted in my life - have you tried any and what's your thoughts?

| Iīve tried a few and they can be good. Mostly mono cepage wines though. I specialise in Mediteranean terroir here, so mostly Portuguese, Spanish, Languedoc and Provence. Best value for money is Portugal, especially from the Alentejo region |

cool - I brought a couple of bottles back and they were superb! I've not tried many Partuguese wines, and any Spanish wines I've tried I've not liked. |

| Look for Herdade do Esporao in Oxford, there must be a stockist, they make some of the best wines from the Alentjian region. As for Spain, try Casa de la Ermita, itīs from Jumilla, just above Alicante. Take the Crianza from them. Superb and an international style of wine. Most Spanish wines are made in the hope they will be successfully imported to the US and therefor they are too heavily oaked. The yanks love their wines BIG. |

I tend to drink spirits, mostly vodka, but quite like Jack Daniels, morgans spiced and a few others.
Dont like wine, beer or lager tbh  |
