Where did that come from???

Ive had these 2 fantastic bottles of wine over the weekend and 1 from (yes i did peruse the isles and purchased it does £7!!!) Tesco and 1 from absolutely no idea!

Ive a good number of bottles in my collection and add frequently - just not drinking enough!!

Er Indoors begs to differ here and reckons I drink too much - I slurp on average 3 to 4 bottles a week; usually 3!

Anyway, my point isn’t to mentioned what Er Indoors comments - it’s the wonderment of finding a cool bottle in the back of somewhere and it’s like mega!!!

The Jack Rabbit was bought and a Shiraz from Chile and completely immense.

Not sure if just this vintage or could be just the bottle and the-fact that it’s been in the rack for a while?!

I recently bought a bottle of wine and came with a certificate saying - consume between 3 and 10 years.

The bottle wasn’t expensive but came in a box and numbered!

It won’t last that long - but a point to note is that how do people know and realise when’s good to drink?

Yes science plays a part - but the JR bottle was at least 2 years old and tasted like a fine wine (i can comment on fine wines!!! - not all are and most overpriced with a wrong title - fine should sometimes mean daft priced and pretentious! = maybe call them P&P🤔).

So where did it come from!!

When you find a great bottle, you want to hang onto it! You then may go for another one and think it will be same - shelf, maybe the vintage, grape, region - all the boxes ticked!

Then the second one tastes like crap and is the opposite of the first!

Consider a few things though - how long did you have the old bottle, where did it come from, storage conditions and more importantly - what did you just eat?!

Where did it come from?

Maybe the same place as the other one - just you might be different!
