Did Elvis have his own vineyard, then?

Hmm, what goes well with cheeseburgers and fried banana and peanut butter sandwiches?

A word of advice: Never count the number of empty bottles you put out in the weekly recycling and translate the value into the number of weeks it would take you to upgrade your amp. It's a very slippery slope...

 And slippery slopes can be dangerous when you're conshishtenly plashtered...

Nice glass of Port thank you.

Drink most of mine, in bolognese sauce. Goes really well. Doesn't get you sloshed though.

Re: Wine - recommendation.

I missed it but Happy Birthday Thaiman.

Any Australian wines are good value and quality though Hardy's has gone down the tubes a bit of recent times. We're particularly fond of Wyndham BIN 555 Shiraz or BIN 888 Cabernet Merlot. You can't go far wrong with Rosemount Jigsaw Shirax Mataro Grenache either. The best thing is you folks can get all of these wines in your average Sainsburys at pretty uch what we pay for em here.

Or, if you want to trade in a grand's worth of kit you could try a bottle of Penfold's Grange Hermitage.

If you want to get into it go join cork'd

Hamilton's a dead set for the championship, don't let a burst tyre fool you.
