Cono Sur Bicicleta Sauvignon Blanc

[I like Skol]

Picked up a bottle of this while browsing the aisles at Sainsbury's this morning. What with Le Tour and my obsession I thought it would be rude not to?
I haven't a clue if it will be any good and I haven't spotted it before so I can't be sure that it isn't just a not so cheap ploy to cash in on the hype surrounding the cycling seasons biggest event. I don't know whether to drink it or put it on a shelf among my hung up bikes in my new bike shed?

Or maybe I should sit in my bike shed and drink it, then put the empty bottle on a shelf. It's not quite finished yet (the bike shed, not the wine!) but I think some cycling memorabilia about the place will be just the job?

No, not 'good', but not bad either. Just very ordinary average chilean savvyblanc from an huge producer. Also depends on your idea of 'good' and what you want from an inexpensive bottle.

Not just wine but white wine, eurghhh...



Like the shed though!

white shed,

Coño sur bicicleta
Lol
Spanish /French joke there

 

[Fnaar]

Coño = c*nt in Spanish
sur = on in French
bicicleta = bicycle in Spanish...
Put 'em together, and you have a bilingual c*nt on a bicycle

They do a red as well. The shed is looking a bit posh.

I've always maintained that you are too educated and high-brow for the likes of me....

Thanks. It's a work in progress, tomorrow I'm tiling the floor. 300 terracotta quarry floor tiles. My wife thinks we built the extension so she could have a kitchen diner when really I let her add that bit onto my plans for a heated, indoor bike shed

I think you'll find 'Cono Sur' is a play on 'connoisseur' and the 'bicicleta' refers to their workers' mode of transport.

a bit like Goats do Roam, Bored Doe and Goat-Roti?

the best punning name of all was: René Pogel. Bragging rights to the first to explain that one!

I spotted the radiator, oh and is that Ikeas rails and hooks for the shoes ? Got some of them in my kitchen ?

I thought it was Spanish for "my 99 ice cream has fallen under my bike"

I bought another bottle of this in the weekly shop. I really enjoyed the last bottle

I also wanted to post a pic of my 'man room' now the floor and furniture are in. I've been tinkering in there today and although it could be wider, it is big enough to get a bike up on a work stand for a fiddle.

I see helmets! I hope they are for the children.

They are indeed the children's helmets, although to be honest I'm not particularly bothered if then oldest lad wears his now. He is well past the 'falling of for any silly reason' stage. If he ever objects to wearing it I will probably let it go but for the time being it doesn't occur to him not to wear it.
