What do you think of Cremant, Sub?

subsub · Post by **subsub** » Thu Jan 01, 2015 9:13 pm

Which one, Pet?

Bourgogne?
Alsace?

Generally, I think they're excellent, both in terms of quality and value.

While I like Champagne, too often it's overpriced, whereas Crémant is good-value fizz that is several notches above most cava and Prosecco.

Have only been to one CdBourgogne producer, and their wines were delicious, and only about a tenner in the UK, IIRC.

I would also try Oz/Kiwi fizz if you find any, Pet. Some of them are excellent, and again, great value

He was good. I also liked Sid Snot & Cupid Stunt.

Sub.....I am fond of the old Vinho Verde down here.

What is your opinion of it?

Have had the odd dodgy one in the past, but all the ones we've had over here have been great - lovely with a plate of grilled sardines or shellfish. You need something clean and zingy with oily fish and Vinho Verde works a treat

Which vineyards do you recommend, Sub?

The wines I'd recommend include:
Quinta de Azevedo
Soalheiro Alvarinho
Muralhas (have seen this one in quite a few places, and is cheap and good)

I shall look out for those tomorrow.

Right now we are sat on the patio supping the old Vinho Verde....

BTW.....our favourite waitress is indeed stil working in Smiler's and she has got her thighs tattooed.

Normally I ain't into tats but these are sensational

I intend too, pal.

It is how to do it without appearing to be perving is the question

If the big girl caught me on I would be dead meat

Trying to find a slightly frizzante recioto

This is the only fizz you'll need

Far superior to most Champagnes I've tried (I don't drink cheap champagne, I'd rather have a good cava or prosecco )

between 9.99 and 12.99 a bottle only at Majestic - IF you can find it. As soon as it comes in it sells out very quickly indeed.

Sub......what the heck is White Merlot?

Someone gave me a bottle for Christmas.

What type of dishes does it accompany?

We are on pasta tonight.......would it work with that?

Never heard of it, Pet.
But it will either be one of those 'blush' wines, like white Zinfandel (ie a sweet rose), or a white wine where they extract the juice without leeching any colour from the skins.

Re the pasta, depends what you're adding to it!
If it is a rose wine, I wouldn't pair that with meat, unless it was white meat.

I heard her mention pancetta.

I suppose that is more white meat than red.

Technically yes, as it's pork, but quite full-flavoured and fatty, so quite rich.
I would just drink red wine with it
