I used to be a committed red wine man but when I met my girlfriend, she converted me to white. So here are some favourite white wines: Casillero del Diablo - Chilean, lovely Vino Torres Esmerelda - Spanish, very fragrant The Wolf Blass yellow labels are nice too And, of course, Bollinger for champagne darlings... |

The top pub in Byron Bay. Right next to the center of action and the best part of the beach with a great outdoor section to watch all the bikini clad girls and enjoy the sea breeze and watch the dolphins and whales (that are left)... There's lovely. Coppers Sparkling ale on draught which is not only nice but also not full of evil chemicals. And for a VERY fine tipple Coopers Vintage Ale. Only made every three years or so as it takes that long. (though of course that is complete crap as they could start it every year so it must be a marketing ploy) |

Just back from Sunday lunch at our nearest pub (next village!) With this thread in mind, I thought I'd be a little adventurous, so ordered a bottle od Aussie Chiraz I'd never heard of. Lovely! Wife didn't like it, father-in-law wasn't keen, so had the bottle mostly to myself. What was it? I'm finding it hard to remember exactly after almost a whole bottle, but I think it was called Murphy's Big River - Murray River.... or something. Very nice, anyway. |

Isnt Banrock Station an aussie wine? I had it ages ago and it was quite nice-try some hungarian wines if you can-Egri Bikabér(bulls blood) but get only from the Eger area-robust full red(dry) very tasty. White wine-if you can get it is the "Tokaj" it comes in ratings of sweetness-No 6 being the sweetest

Nice pint of Brains (I have to say it coz im welsh)
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||

Anything by Brains...Superb, it's like Caffrey's but better! Crow Valley bitter, Brewed in Cwmbran by a very small brewery (you can order online as well) Thatchers Ciders, 3 litre box of Organic cider can be bought in ASDA,not fizzy like Strongbow but tastes just like Apple juice 7.4% lovely in the Summer. Do various other Organics in bottles as well, not cheap, but worth every penny. Dortmunder DAB lager. 5 litre kegs in ALDI. I used to drink it in Germany, very nice! Most Aussie Reds, Wolf Blass, Yellowtail, Snappygum, Burke's Rest all good.

Aspalls dry suffolk cider. Cracking cider thats soooo easy to drink and available at most supermarkets. If you feeling flush Black Velvet is a good tiple. Fill one pint glass halfway with champagne then fill the glass to the top (very very slowly) with guiness.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Guinness. Bloody mary. Cloudy Bay. (Only its rare as rocking horse shit so Chablis Premiere cru as first reserve.) Oh yes, and that 1974 Armanac the missis got me when I turned 40. Nuff said. |

My mrs' parents are all into organic and fairtrade stuff, so they bought me a bottle of Bateman's organic beer from Aldi's - Best beer i have ever tasted. Well recommended |

I'm just in the process of getting all the kit and I'm going to be brewing my own. ![]() Doing Ale, and Cider and probably some Guinness type stuff and also I'll try and do a few bottles of the Vino for the lady of the Manor. If in a few weeks I have an insane drunken ramble, you'll know the brew is good!
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
you ever tried Honey Parlinka?(honey schnapps)but distilled the Hungarian way- sweet and errr little strong,about 56% proof but loads of peeps make their own from various fruits(plum is the most popular,trouble its about 70% proof
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||

OOOHHHH Fucking hell!!!!! ![]() I am very partial to APFELKORN Apple schnapps, When I get the old Homebrew sussed , I'm gonna attempt to make my own, I got a Plum tree in the Garden, Plum Schnapps...sounds good Ja?

If you want a good Sunday lunch with nice beer, try the Railway Inn in Abertillery, opposite Tesco, on the bend before the lights. You may have to ring up to book, but it's worth it, Kim the Landlady is superb, I go in, in bike gear all the time, nobody bats an eye, apart from in the summer when I got fuck all on underneath my leathers ![]() Just tell her when you go there that Shiny recommended it, you'll have a bit of a surprise!
|
||||||||

Yeh i know the Railway. My grandad used to be a member of the limes (It's an old person's bar opposite it). Is that your local or did i hear you mention the patriot? |

The old farmer I bought my farm off in the French Pyrenese (it's a long story and a while ago now) used to make plum schnapps/brandy from the trees in his/my fields. That was the finest spirit I have ever drunk by far. So smooth, sweet, and very strong. He introduced me to it on the day we agreed to buy the farm by pouring it over a lump of sugar in a small glass. Yum. He called it Eau de Vie.. Water of life, and used to make a few bottles every year. He gave me two at one point and I treasured them for as long as I could. It was a sad day when I finally finished off the last of it a few years later. You can buy it in France and pay a lot of money for an old one but nothing was ever as good as that. In fact I remember buying some later on the internet so I'm gonna do that right now and have it sent to me here.
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
It was called La Vieille Prune and there is a place in England that will send it to you. Very fine stuff |
||||||||
|
|

I pine for some very similar stuff from southern Germany. Proper Pear Kirsch. It is not sweet but incredibly flavoursome and and alchoholic. When I make cheese fondue I use the Kirsch with the cornflour in the final stiffening-it gives a fantastic aroma. Also great as penalty tot for losing your bread. Difficult to get good quality Kirsch in the UK now. I get mine from a vintage whisky shop in Soho- but not a patch on the Germnan stuff I had years ago. Amazing how many variations on the of Aqua vite theme there are. I will never forget some illegally brewed Oozo we had on a tiny Island called Symi-although it actually came from Lesbos. You could drink it until totally anaestatised and not have a trace of a hang over the next day. just noticed some extremely fine bitter that has not been mentioned yet Timothy Taylor Landlord - almost definitive bitter, loads of taste and all too easy to drink. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Yup, the Plum brandy was like that too. (Not sweet, just delicious. Dangerously so) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||

so now all we need on the Forum is a good quality booze importer to take our custom recommended orders. ddddddddddddddrink! |

This year I have mostly been drinking bottled Hobgoblin (5.2%) from Wychwood Brewery in Witney, Oxfordshire. Unavailable on draught in the lager-swilling South East unfortunately. ![]() It's knocked Guinness off the top step of the podium for me and the T-Shirts ain't bad either! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||

TRy MARSTONS extra strong pale ale...6.2% and very nice. or if you can get them Tribute or Doom Bar, both made near Padstow in Cornwall also very nice.

Just finished a really wholesome bottle of Campo Lindo 2000 Gran Reserva. Smooth, fruit and spice taste and way too easy to drink (bottle Nº2 en route). Imported by that old family firm of wine importers Sainsburies who are doing a case rate-I shall be back for more.

Just getting relaxed drinking OUZO and Lemonade...very nice , but I wake up smelling like an Aniseed Ball...On the plus side it doesn't make me fart like a Hurricane, Mr's 'Busa doesn't appreciate the pungent whiff of Eeau de Lower Intestine at 2 am, floating from under the duvet........she's even threatened to torch the bike if it happens again!! me being the rough tough biker that I am.........I've done as the boss has told me and I'm behaving .....again!

It's not the food that does it! It's the Guinness. Feed me ten pints of the black stuff and I become the ultimate bar clearing machine, even I admit I stink after that! You know it's good when the wife wakes up and rushes to the toilet to be sick!!!!
|

|

bleurg nothing to do with the eight pints she had then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
No. Mrs 'Busa has the odd glass of red wine and maybe a G & T . She's not a big drinker. I blame it all on the Army food I had to endure during my misguided years! However, Makka, if you like whisky, there's a Welsh one called Penderyn, extremely nice, distilled in Brecon. 46%
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
I'll see if I can find it.
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Like the sound of the Penderyn. My rec is the 15 year old version of single Islay malt Laphroaig. Some folk hate it as it has a really strong smokey taste-I love it. Only 43% so you can drink pints of it at a time.
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
ASDA and Tesco sell it. It's very smooth.
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
[shouts] I'll do the washing up later luv, just need to nip off to Tesco... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Mmmmm...Laphroig. I do like the Highland and Islay malts, there's just something about that Smoky peaty flavour. Bruichladdich is a very nice one as well, smooth and goes down very well.
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Oh well, looks like I'm gonna be drunk as a skunk for a munth. Taking one of my rescued pythons back to its home today. The first one. The guy who chopped it is gonna attend. He was very upset at the time so was happy to hear its coming back. It had two big wounds in its lungs and still survived. A miracle snake. |
||||||||

Nice one. I think you should treat yourself to a celebratory glass or 3 of a nice smooth single Malt Makka. ![]() I do like a happy ending.

I've since been to the bottlo and it's cheap plonk (still v. generous of him but..) I might look a gift horse in the mouth and exchange it for a couple of bottles of decent stuff. |

I've only had 3 pints and my fingers have a will of their own....I will shortly attempt to walk to the loo....Hic

Mr's Busa's just come back from Belguim....... Belgian Trappist Monk beer is superb..WESTMALLE Trappist Tripel 9.5% is absolutely wonderful....I have got to try and find it in the UK. And NO HANGOVER...Brilliant! ![]() And for the Ladies...LEFFE beer, can be bought in Tesco...not as strong and has a more mellow taste..suitable for the feminine palate....they are both really good with a nice Brie and some Antipasti ( That's cured meat...Not the anti cornish pasty brigade)

I got a 46 tooth sprocket from Supersprox on the way ![]() Flu I guess. Sore throat, headache, sinus pain, night sweats, head full of gunge, joint pain. You know the drill. Looks like I'm gonna be living on pills and booze for a few days, so nothing new there. ![]() Great, so next weekend a track day? How much pressure is riding a bike gonna put on it FGS? Just stay off the dirt for a month or so eh?
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
I'd like to get a trackday in the doc said it would 5 weeks before i could ride a bike a week ago but then they told me it would be 6 months before I rode a bike when i first bust my back and I was riding a month after I came out of Hospital it will depend on if I come out of hospital in trainers or a "walking plaster" whatever the fuck that is. If the plaster does come of next Thursday the chances of my buying an R6 are slim as it would be a while before I could get out on track with it. The sprocket taken a while to arrive init, best cure for Flu is hot toddys it deals with the symptoms by messing you up in other ways. night or moring which ever you prefer I'm off the bed it's nearly midnight and I need all the beauty sleep I can get.
|

|

And this Doc rides a bike? |
