Best holiday destinations

Any recommendations? I'm a complete wine novice.

Tasting notes like your beer. If you like nice refreshing stuff then white wine in the sun is ace, plenty of citrus flavours along with a crisp finish in northern Italian wines. Big punchy berries are common place in Tuscan red wines so I'm guessing they will be where you're going. I imagine it'll be a Chianti of sorts, plenty of cherries and berries.

If you're on a vineyard always have the local stuff it will be excellent.

Up near Turin it will be Barolo. MASSIVE red wine with balls of granite. Bags of flavour and a kick like a fucking mule.

I love Barolo.

BTW - if you want red wine chilling in the sun a Chianti classico is lovely. There are some rank Chiantis out there but find a good one and you will love it. Chianti is great with subtle foods - a light pasta or something like that.

Valpollicella is another italian wine to consider.

But just drink fucking loads of Barolo. Barolo is POWER. Jackett would love it. Goes brilliantly with powerful meaty sauces or a MASSIVE steak. Don't have it with subtle foods as it will overpower them.

Nice one, cheers fellas.

Barbaresco is the other Piedmont heavyweight.

Barolo is just outstanding though.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Barbaresco is an excellent shout. Good call Nando.

Thought they were two players we were after for a minute.

Went camping near Bala this weekend - got back last night.

Positives:

Absolutely beautiful area
Barmouth beach was ace - saw quite a lot of Wolves shirts as well!
Portmeirion - if you ever get the chance to go here, then make sure you do. Stunning place.
Campsite - really nice, very friendly, excellent camp fire shenanigans
Decent weather overall - got a bit of a sunburn
Kids bloody loved it

Negatives:

Bitten to fuck by midges - little bastards
A total of 6 hours sleep over 2 nights - I'm really not used to camping, didn't find sleeping comfortable at all.
Lack of internet signal #firstworldproblems Of all the weekends to not have access to TWF/Twitter etc!!!

Good fun though, was pleased to get home and sleep in a proper bed!!
