Tír Na HiFi

I thought I would kick this off.

Anybody with recommendations of alcoholic beverages to sip whilst being caressed with the sound of Hi Fi please speak up.

For around the 18E mark.


Another which I found to be worthwhile, approx 13E.

from wines direct out in mullingar. Delivery anywhere next day for 6.50

Nautilus has graced many a hifi meeting in the past, as it happens...

One of my favourites is Frank Phelan 2005 from the St Estephe estate. Big and rich yet velvety-textured Cabernet-Merlot blend which is wonderfully consistent. About €25.

Another great one is The Coppermine Road 2007 by Australian producer d'Arenburg (McLaren Vale). Possibly the best wine I've tasted. Sumptuous, full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon that is truly memorable. About €35.

Chapoutier's excellent Gigondas (2007 vintage). Beautifully balanced blend of (predomininantly) Grenache with Cinsault, Syrah and Mourvedre. About €21.

... as poured by my Better Half. From our bar in the living room. [well, one can dream !]

Another nice one for about 20E mark. I have not tried the red yet, but looking forward to it in the near future.

@ Ivor, Fran,

E6.50 including delivery is very impressive. I will look forward to tasting some in the near future.

Thanks for the link.
