montanamark → New Zealand: I lived in Auckland for 2 years and was lucky enough to visit the Montana Marlborough vineyards....without question the best Sav Blanc in the world EVER!!
GrapeGurl: Good morning Mark. I'm not really an early bird but I get up early to get my girls ready for school. Otherwise I'd sleep in as late as I could. :P

GrapeGurl: Yes, I have some family in Houston and I need to find out if they are heading out or staying home. I know they're evacuating Galveston but I haven't heard anything recently about Houston.
Guess I need to turn the news on.

montanamark → kateh: Hi Kate, thanks for the recommendation will put it on my list. Actually only Australia have used the BIB concept succesfully for oils in retail pack sizes.

kateh: Since you like your sauvignon - would highly recommend st claire wairau rsv.....outstanding! The company i used to work for also used scholle bag in box... but for liquids oils.... not as tasty as wine !

hernanovalle: Flexi tanks ?.. scholle has a respresentation here in Chile since a while...we're in conversations with them, they're trying to convince us to change our bags to sholle....will see
montanamark → hernanovalle: Hahah, what a small world. Yes the Vitop is still quite popular but our valve the "Flex tap" still does a very good job. I work with the Bulk side of the business so shipping thousands of litres of wine al over the world.
Thanks for the add and also for the suggestion. I'll give that a shot. Based on your profile here I'm guessing I should go with the Marlborough, huh?

hernanovalle: Hi Mark, you work for scholle ? we use a lot of Bag in box bags...but we're actually buying to your competition Smurfit with Vitop valve, cheers from Chile
annemarieparkin: i don't know why you don't re name yourself 'marlborough mark'

Favorite Wines
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, NZ Babich Black Label Sauvignon Blanc Villa Maria "Clifford Bay" reserve Cloudy Bay
Really liking Malbec at the moment too!.
I have just tried "Barefoot" Merlot from Modesto CA (I believe). A little sharp at first taste, but there's nice blackberry, cherry and chocolate flavours that follow through...really well priced for easy drinking too. Gonna go for a Cab next time.
Favorite Table Wine
I like red and white for dinner!

Quite often a good wine is a great wine when paired with the right food. Some food and wine pairings are quite obvious where as others are often illusive. Are you planning a dinner and want to see what wine would go best with it? Have you had a great meal that was perfectly paired with a wine? Please share it so we can all enjoy the wine pairing.
A group for those in the UK to discuss what's out there that you recommend, or even those wines you think are "bleugh". What's your fav wine? Where do you normally buy your wine? What's a current bargain out there?
This group will be for all UK members to share their thoughts.
Welcome to the Virtual Wine Tasting Club. Every month in our online wine tasting series we will taste a different wine and post our tasting notes. In advance, if possible, please post the wine you will be trying that fits the tasting. The tasting will last one month so you can taste and post your notes in that time frame. Please ask questions about the wine we're tasting, post recommendations for future wine tastings and make this online wine tasting group a wonderful, interactive, informative wine discussion.
This group is for everyone. Check in here to meet one another, talk about your favorite wine, restaurants, outings, travels, and/or just get to know the others who belong to Must Love Wine. We already know we have one thing in common, we all love wine.
