I'm not an (alchy) alchie but...

...this does get me pretty excited!

I was out in France recently at my folk's place (see this and various around that entry) and spent time sampling and enjoying various bottles of 4-5 euro claret. Now don't get me wrong, this is quality vino and would probabaly cost £10 a bottle in your local Oddbins. I bought 24 bottles for around £70 which duly arrived this weekend with my Mum and Dad - bingo!

They also dropped off these cracking looking French beers which I will very much look forward to drinking. Responsibly.

Edit: drank the 'La Goudale' last night - like Leffe Blonde only nicer. Cracking brew.
