New Year's Day present for myself-
Glenmorangie Finealta.

Archaic in all the right ways.

I use to be a big fan of New Zealand Pinot Noir, but the ones I've tasted here in the Netherlands have been extremely average and lacking in complexities.

I had some Budweiser in the fridge for guests over Christmas and decided to have a bottle the other night. This is the brew-chem version, made with the choicest chemicals and some left over takeaway rice and marmite dregs somewhere near London. The fizzy sugary taste combined with last nights dirty dishwater was quite uninspiring. Needless to say, I didn't partake in another one.

I defy the Budweiser corporation to come up with a more lack lustre and utterly pathetic beer in character and taste.

A friend brought over some Chimay Grand Reserve in its fancy champagne-style bottle as something a little different with which to usher in the New Year. I'd been meaning to try it for ages...

Nice, but basically tasted like any old stout to me. Certainly wouldn't pay $20 a bottle for it.

^I'll give that ago BJS, thanks.

Was at Manchester airport yesterday, and tried a pint of Fosters Cold on draft and it was a pretty good lager. So I had another one.

A cup of Lipton's tea from New York. Later we will probably start out with the intention of a 'dry' evening, after last night's very, very 'wet' evening and an early start tomorrow but if, as is usually the case, our will power amounts to a breached parapet, I shall go along to the nearest local bar and stock up with cold Antarctica beers. The bar is most accommodating and, even after they have closed, I can go and clankempty bottles outside and they re-open for a sale. Imagine that in Blighty or the USA!

Started off with a lovely burgundy over dinner. Just opened a Cotes Du Rhone.

Potensac '96 a jolly decent wine with a few years left in it yet.

Bowmore 15

After the Rioja just one glass of Tanner’s crusted port (made by Churchill Graham), bottled 2001. Rather good and the rest will go with the artisanal sausages as a winter warmer before tomorrow’s shoot.

I had a glass of Johnny Walker black in honor of a friend.

Mercury Draught Cider...very refreshing and watching the latest Sydney Big Basher Dave warner carve up the Hindustanis. Warner got the fastest hundred Down Under ever. Shows you that cricket is a sport which still gets better all the time. Ponting just got bowled = cartwheeling middle stump.

I suspect the series will be 5-zip and the inhabitants of the subcontinent will "hang 'em high" on return. Time for India to make some changes to the batting line up. Sehwag hasd had a disastrous tour so far.

Right at this moment its a Lapsang Souchong. Long time. Believe it or not non of my usual haunts had it on the shelves. Witha bit of cheese on water biscuits.

Earlier on it was a very nice 2007 Grampians (Victoria) shiraz - good stuff for around $11 aud - from this young guy, sort of local-ish, who only stocks about 20 or so own brand cleanskins or some name - but can tell you exactly were each one is from. Later we opened one of his California Napa Shiraz - one glas was too much for me - raw no promise and not even interestingly rough - around $12 aud - I'll stick to oz wines from him.
