# I treat my wife to her favourite
Guigal chateauneuf-du-pape because it makes her slim. That or it loosens elastic. Either way, the knickers are coming down,

# I'm more of a sweet wine fan myself.
Or, even better, a nice ale.

# Oh yes! Good ale is top notch.
That's ^ my fave wine, though.

# Which one?
If I were to buy a bottle.
(I helped save b3ta! Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Tue 11 Mar 2008, 16:55, archived)
# Well, it gets a bit pricey
but anything in the 35-50 quid range should be good.

There's some real damage to be done right here: www.majestic.co.uk/find/keyword-is-Puligny-Montrachet

Edit: forget that first result on that search page, that stuff is crap.

# I don't mind paying for a nice bottle
as I drink it so rarely now.

# I can't abide dessert wines as a rule
but if you must then you won't go wrong with a decent Sauterne.

# ^ This
Or Monbazillac. Big fan of that.

# I tend to find them a touch sweet.
I'm not really one for sweet things unless I'm really in the mood.

# French Alsace Pinot Gris
You should investigate this....

# I went to Alsace with my family a couple of years ago.
My parents took home about 50 bottles. There's so many free tasting places along the wine routes...

# oh right. The conversation was of sweet wines I thought.
Then without a doubt if you want white go for the burgundy area for a good chablis or puilly-fuissé. Suavignon from the Loire valley and a chardonnay from as far south as possible, like a Viognier.

# I'm being schooled in wine.
I never even considered that I might have to know at some point, usually I just phone my granddad.

Thanks for the tips, lads.

# Ahh, well - from the Loire
One to try is Old Vine Muscadet. It's aged in sherry barrels, and tastes nothing like normal Muscadet. More like a really classy White Burgundy.

But Puligny-Montrachet is still my fave.

Have been to this place to pick stuff up, they are really lovely:

It's the Chasseloir you'll be wanting.

# Not a monster
Muscadet fan but on your recommendation I will give it a go. As it happens I have my wine club catalogue on my desk as an order is imminent.
