Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure 2007

[lew]

Oh well, what will I do, no WA and no TG

[Sloopy]

We will be bereft!!

Musn't forget tonight's episode though - in all the excitement I'd almost forgotten it was Tuesday. ;D

[lymaze]

There's Top Toys, and Richard on the radio all christmas and Jeremy will no doubt crop up on celebrity Strictly Come Dancing - well maybe not.

[xjsarah]

Eeek! Jezza on Strictly Come Dancing!

That thought doesn't create the most edifying of images in my mind, I'm afraid - especially in the Latin dances!!! ;D

[cheeselova]

Jezza's bad back/dodgy hip wouldnt be able to cope with all the hip swirling & groin thrusting ;D

[Sloopy]

Jezza on SCD??

You can just imagine him trying to do the rumba - all that hip action. OMG, let's not even go there.

He'd be in hospital having a hip replacement by the end of the week.

[beckstar]

Ugh!!! Please don't use the words 'Jeremy' and 'hip action' in the same sentence when I'm trying to eat lunch!!

I'm sure I read somewhere that James was offered SCD but turned it down becuase he thought he wouldn't be very good... I think he'd be brilliant at, say, the waltz or the quickstep, but I'm really not sure I can imagine the salsa...

[xjsarah]

James in white tie and tails....ooooh ;D

Now that really is an edifying image! ;D

[Sloopy]

Apparently James was offered SCD - but thank the lord he turned it down. The ballroom would have been OK, but the Latin??

[lew]

I'm glad he did turn it down, he would have just been plain embarrassed the whole way around

[Sloopy]

Poor James.

Anyway, back to more pressing issues - like tonight's WA!!! And no drinking from spittoons this week. ;D

Following last weeks programme, I have bought a bottle of Ravenswood Zinfandel to enjoy during tonights episode (Note to James and the Giant Grape - if it turns out that I have spent £6.99 on a bottle of witches pi water, heads will roll ;D

I've had Ravenswood but can't remember what it was like. I have a Morrisons, The Best, Californian Zinfandel 2005, 14.5%; £15.99. There is another one i sometimes buy from Tesco (which is my regular shop, i just happened to be in Morrisons with Mum on Wednesday) for £4.99, 14% and that is really nice. The one i have today is apparently "bursting with spectacular flavours of chocolate and berries"

Hope you do enjoy your Zinfandel, Ink

[cheeselova]

Whoa whoa edit. I did NOT pay that much for my Zinfandel. £5.99 NOT £15.99!!

I thought you had been pushing out the boat there

[lew]

Got a nice merlot (remember the accent) Napa valley 2004 tesco £7.49...so we'll see

[xjsarah]

Wow, brilliant episode! There's potential for some gorgeous screencaps....! ;D

I still think he looks great in that dark blue shirt. ;D

[sarah]

Another fab episode...

Didn't like the chinese woman, wanted to slap her...loved James getting pi**ed when he was left on his own....loved the Mustang and wow...didn't know James was a swordsman

[lymaze]

"You don't throw pearls at a pig?" Was that what she said? I wanted to give her a good slap. Glad he drank all her wine. How rude to leave him on his own. Loved the Mustang - what a nice thing to do.

Oh screencap golden moment - him taking that sword out and then opening the bottle with it.

[cheeselova]

Grrr that Chinese woman took an instant dislike to James, i reckon. Did you see the way she looked at him? Grrrr. He's worn the blue shirt in nearly every episode now; THUD. Aw bless him pretending to be ill so he could go and get Oz the 'Stang.

That just suited him sooooo much

[lew]

Nod's at Sarah and Ly.....stupid women, when your left with a million bottles of wine what do you do?......drink them ....screen cap queen's .....Alfie.....Eclair ;D

[Mayfayre]

Loved the p*ssed moment! And I suspect I would agree with Oz on the score for the spam hangover cure! I'd give the sardine one a minus figure though - can't stand fish!

I found an abandoned bottle of Blossom Hill Californian Chardonnay in the fridge & decided to give it a go with the programme. It was revolting! I hope the Zinfandel was better!

[glam]

I liked the sword too ;D swashbuckling James should be added to the list of outfits forthe "dress me up James" doll

[cheeselova]

Not sure what to make of my Zinfandel. Inky I think it's because i've been guzzling so much Shiraz lately my tastebuds are so used to it.

I thought the mud bath was this episode?

Maybe they're saving it for the last episode as a xmas treat for us all

[glam]

the sparkling wine lady reminded me of Zoe Wannamaker

[Deleted]

I know maybe next week for a mud bath!

Great episode!! James getting hammered was brilliant, he does get funnier!! And I agree if you're going leave wine around, it would be rude not to drink it!!

Well, James and the Giant Grape get to keep their heads cos even though I am not a red wine drinker, I am quite enjoying this one. None of that awful tannin/metallic taste that I have always found when drinking red wine (God, I'll be sounding like a wine ponce at this rate ) and I am drinking it slowly to appreciate the taste Not like the Blossom Hill White Zinfandel which I drink like pop

[lymaze]

I must remember to get one for next week. Glad he warmed to the champagne. Watching them drink all that makes me want to have a bottle.
