Greek? Weird how such an embedded wine region is almost entirely dismissed by large retailers

Controversial but one of the last ever reds I ever rinsed before quitting was a bottle of heaven on Earth from Lotem’s

The advantage of being a whisk(e)y drinker is avoiding sulphites

 

[luka]

natural wines dont really have sulphites, or only a teeny weeny bit

 

[Murphy]

aye it’s a price indexing factor too

£20 isn’t a bank breaker but…. it’s orange?

 

[luka]

its what we trendy people down in london drink

 

[Murphy]

has any wine got close to a Glen Scotia 15 moment?

yeah @mistersloane pulled out a white wine from the 1940s once. it was white but it had turned caramel colour. it was like taking ecstasy.

Biodynamic Swiss wines are beyond compare, but very hard to get in the UK. I don't think they're allowed to export, or don't produce enough to have a surplus beyond domestic demand.
