This one is certainly a bit odd.

Recently I have got to like the taste of the New Zealand Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc wines. I have been buying these in preference to any others in the recent weeks.

I would hope they are available where you are and while they might be a little more expensive than your local drops, I suggest sample some if you get the chance :up:

Gawd. I ran a little on the dry yesterday on the Sauvignon Blanc wine I allay shave to hand (hot weather I guess... ) and had to raid the cupboard .... just had to taste Midori and lemonade again, lots of ice naturally but it is Summer here :D

Short answer, yes.

You probably haven't heard of XXXX, pronounced Fourex where you're at but it is an Aussie and to be fair, a Queensland favourite. I usually like the Hahn Brewing range too. I will add if I go out and order a "beer" it will usually be a 'crownie' - Carlton Crown Lager and I usually get a slab of these at Christmas. A very nice drop.
So yes I drink beer.

and for the Aussie slang term slab

Lady Carlos likes a Hendricks
She actually has quite the selection; Plymouth Sloe, Martin Millers, Bathtub Sloe, Monkey 47, Sipsmiths Sloe and something else I cant remember the name of.

The darks (Dunkel-brown) by Unertl:

Catastrophic name, even in German, but the beer is off this world. Especially the darker ones. "Unertl Weisser Bock"... nothing comes close from my experience.

I just discovered a rather nice "The Ned".
It is a New Zealand Marlborough wine - Sauvignon Blanc.
Rather nice :up:

"The Ned" is a really nice drop if you can get your hands on it :smirk: where you're at....A Sauvignon Blanc and New Zealand Marlborough area wine. I still enjoy but I found another pleasant wine a few days ago. Jacob's Creek label and a Australian wine for a change (I did think I was hooked on the NZ stuff). Rather nice :up:

Clicky

Again, if you can get your hands on some :up: :up:
