    Actually that's a very good point, a $20 Pinot just tastes a bit empty compared to a Shiraz/Syrah of the same value.
    I'm sure a $50 Pinot tastes pretty bloody good but fuck spending that much.

    Nailed it. Fussy little fluffybunny of a grape to grow apparently and the outcome varies tremendously on the season, terroir, etc (wine snob comment, and yes I am a white male - so probably a misogynist too, even though I love women).

    Generally a cheaper Pinot is shit, but damn the expensive ones can be good. So yeah, I avoid them too and stick to shiraz / syrah.

    None of the above changes the fact that that is a really crap article, and like @nzzp I can't believe that I even bothered typing any of that.

    @Snowy You inspired me to read it. He does come across as a plonker (boom tish) but so does she. In fact no one comes out of it well.

    Not a wine I would be interested in tasting at all.

    yeah I decided I needed to read it too...

    I drink F-all wine, plus I dont think I'd ever buy a red in a clear bottle!

    And look at the other offerings currently on Stuff 👏 👏 👏

    @taniwharugby The bottom left article has triggered me, as the kids say - because we fucking do!

    So a policy condition, and the law is a loophole and falling asleep is an act of god?

    He's lucky he wasn't drunk, the police could well have charged him with DIC too!

    Amusing how he has lost faith in his Insurer, despite the fact the Ombudsmen and the court saying he was in the wrong too.

    @taniwharugby this thread could be re-named "Re-write This Headline".

    In this case:

    Self-entitled Sleeping Drivers React Childishly to Application of Law

    This belongs here because a hit out against a bunch of Rugby players is not ‘competitive cricket’. Who are his critics exactly ?

    A year or two back they had a hugely overweight Junior Tonu’u as keeper for fucks sake.

    Great to start 2021 reading this piece of self indulgent wank.

    My year was fine, I’ve certainly had far worse in the past

    Well that’s not ideal but despite what the writer says it certainly wasn’t a write off like she’s trying to drill into us.

    Worst. But still better than many people.

    I just heard Kuenssberg on the news saying that it seems to be the virulence of this new strain of the virus that has changed things.

    Ya think? Moran. They told you exactly that two weeks ago.

    I think him, Liam Neeson, Gerard Butler and John Travolta have some sort of contest going to see who can get paid the most for phoning in yet another shit performance.

    @MN5 I think Butler & Neeson are still doing slightly bigger budget ones, not quantity of low budget straight to TV movie stuff the other 2 have done in recent years, although all have a long way to go to be as prolific as Eric Roberts!

    No one beats Eric Roberts at direct to video shit movies. No one.
