Sorry, we couldn't find anything for "Drouet". But we found the following products for "Dorset":

None left. What sort of white do you want? Clean and crisp? Creamy? Rich? Alcoholic? Aromatic? Do you like a hint or more of sugar? More stone fruit, or apple. or grapefruit?

Grapefruit, not sweet. I went for Ned. Forgot all about Brexit.

No pancreas has always been like that.

idunnosomename

can't believe she doubled down on Sex and the City so hard she did a podcast about it, but when it comes to sex-based rights and bathroom safety, she bends the knee instantly!

GoblinAhFuckScary

God her Sex and the City shit is so tediously poptimistic and contrarian.

HATE poptimism

Hahah.

That's excellent. Fucking blue-ticks have such a sense of entitlement.

With grapefruit, you're clearly cruising towards a Sauvignon Blanc, but I'd encourage you to consider trying a ripe Bordeaux Blanc or Sancerre rather than a very green elderflower- & cats piss-inflected, over-irrigated NZ example. Problem is that BB and S tend to be very expensive or shit. This was not so bad on both counts:

I had the 2017. The best S I've ever tried was this:

A bottle will be on its way to you soon. Thanks for your help on the matter.

Late to this but I think some fizz is best with fried food e.g. Cava or e.g. ASDA Extra Special Crémant de Loire. 9 quid but they often have 25% off. M&S Classics No 12. Crémant de Loire (£10) was super-good but they seem to have substituted a Cremant de Bordeaux which I haven't tried yet. Recently enjoyed a very good tank-method (eek!) Argentinian fizzy Chardonnay called Santa Ana from Great Western Wine. Their packaging was a pain to squish up and put out for the rubbish though.

It's a shame we don't get more Sekt in the UK. They can be very good.

BlodwynPig

Thanks seepage and agreed on Sekt. The joy of Sekt.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

Interesting. Perhaps on outdated stereotypes I'd been warned to steer clear. Might get involved in some Sekt next time out there.

Agreed.  Been listening to Shaun's lovely voice for a fair few years now.  Sadly, he hasn't been producing much content recently but he's still a worth-listening-to and good egg with a great voice, did I mention his lovely voice?

It's called satire ;)

Enjoying reading the news again with an FT trial.  Looks like they're after £53 a month to continue.  Anyone pay this?

Mr_Simnock

I thought you were making that up, fucking hell, that is a hell of a lot, they must be short. £309 for the year for digital only is the best option it would seem but to be honest I don't know many people who would waste that on an FT yearly subscription, mental.

Nice!

I said that in a young Richard Herring voice. Not sure why. Definitely Nice! though. And not Fast Show "Nice."
