Ordered some beer today - several classics from Weihenstephaner, and some Trappist beer from Belgium.
And, yes, three bottles of Chablis.

I seem to have finished my (bottle of) Chablis 1er Cru.
Quel dommage.
Sigh. Tant pis.

Happy birthday @Scepticalscribe , glad you enjoyed it properly!
I just came back from Madrid and we had an amazing red wine, Flor de Pingus, which I very rare I drink. But we all loved it. Pricey though but exquisite!
And with Lomo and jamón de Iberico, delicious.

Many thanks.
Sounds delicious and I hope that you enjoyed it.
Since then, as part of yesterday's delivery of wine and beer, three more bottles of Chablis await my attention.
Last night, I sipped and savoured a St Bernardus Abt 12, a classic from Belgium, but this evening, a glass (or two) of Viognier from the Pays d'Oc region (in France) shall keep me company.
Draw a deep breath, and sigh a happy (if slightly envious) sigh.
Wonderful.
Do enjoy, and do please let us know what you thought of this bottle of sublime nectar.
Am currently sipping (and savouring) a glass (or two) of Alvarinho wine (Vinho Verde) from Portugal.
Thanks! It was great, flavor of butter and vanilla. Very balanced, too.
One of my favorite. Currently in Singapore (Four Seasons) and can’t fun this wine in France!😮
Sipping a beer from the splendid Weihenstephaner brewery, their excellent Hefeweissbier Dunkel.
A stunning beer from Germany, their Weihenstephaner Korbinian, is keeping me company this evening.
Never had wine from New Zealand, Australia yes and as the climate and geography is quite different must be interesting.
New Zealand exports a lot of decent to good Sauvignon Blanc. They have some nice Pinots, as well. Last time we were there, we were attending our niece's wedding at a winery in Hawke's Bay and sampled much of the local wares. Good stuff.
A red wine for a change. It was accompanied with Tanderloin steak. Very nice.
As @Silencio (quoted below) observes, New Zealand produces (and exports) quite a lot of Sauvignon Blanc (which would not be my favourite style, or wine).
However, I recently discovered a Pinot Noir from New Zealand, and must say that I find it excellent.
Exactly.
Agreed.
A glass of Chablis - an elegant wine made from Chardonnay grapes - that hails from Burgundy, in France.
