just had a bot ot Susterris 2008, apparently the table wine of the late El Bulli.All I can say is . . . . holy fucking cow!A revelation, it drinks as if it's >£50 per bot not £17.50. A revelation. I haven't been this impressed by a wine since, well, ever.
Any thoughts on their selection and pricing ?
For anyone out there who loves Chateauneuf try Doamin du Pegau, hard to find as its a small producer but the quality is excellent, cost wise the price varies depending on the quality of the year £15 to £25 for the yearly release in Oct/Nov. IF you can find one the 2000 was fantastic but doubt you'd pay much less than £150 a bottle now and given the small volumes probably more - rocking horse shit is common by comparisson I have 2 left in the cellar I just need a good f*cking unbelievably good excuse to crack one open ... I also have a white chateauneuf 2000 poss a Jaboulet but I will have to check - be interested to hear from anyone who has had white Chateauneuf as I bought it on spec about 8 years ago based solely on producer and year
Where's the best place in Sheffield to buy decent wine (supermarkets seem pretty South African/Australian focused and pretty selective at that, plus Tesco's et al. are CVNTS)? The only place springing to mind is the shop attached to Kitchen but I've never been in.(I need to purchase a decent bottle for a wedding gift).
F.F.&W are great as well.
I can't comment on the wine as unfortunately it wasn't for me but I found F.F. & W. fairly stuffy. However, maybe going in covered in chalk wasn't the best idea.
