Love picpoul it's just so south of France...... Wouldn't rush out for the chardonnay we had tonight it was OK but nowt special. File in the drunk for effect only category.....
Just back from fantastic meal of Greek salad with mousakka and lamb oven cooked with olive oil and lemon. Washed down with a Mythos and a glass of red for Mrs RTID. Great view too.
Couple of bottles of Rebellion Blonde tonight, whilst binge watching Season 2 of The Expanse on Netflix.
A couple of Singhas tonight to wash down Tom Yuan soup and really good ripe Durian for starters and desert.
Just a cuppa for me this evening, however, for some Christmas can't come soon enough... http://www.mirror.co.uk/money/shopping-deals/aldi-launches-wine-filled-advent-11179345
Here in the Province of New Brunswick the state run liquor corporation have chosen to de-list Fuller's London Pride, ESP and London Porter that were all recently available. I note all three beers are very well reviewed and rated on the Beer Advocate website:- https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/71/222/ https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/71/219/ https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/71/221/ Now they do list 3 bottles of Fuller's Vintage Ale 2016 for the entire Province, and if their inventory is any good, two of those bottles are located a 5 min drive from me. (so obviously this Fuller's beer is on the way out too, and myself to try and hunt them down).

Put the snorkel and flippers on and went for a dip in my G & T with a dash of bitters. The slice of lemon acted as a lifesaver ring for when l wanted to come up for air.
Just had a jug and two pints of export gold Off home after a haircut to get stuck into the beerfridge
