My name is Michael Taylor and I am not an alcoholic. I actually don't like pubs that much. On tour I fall asleep when I've reached my limit, I can't keep up with the likes of Andrew Page, Mike Perls and John Fowler. However, I do like a tipple and as I get older, I get more choosy. Here are my ten Friday thoughts for the week on the subject of booze.
Best white wine: Marlborough Montana Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand
Best red wine: A really dark creamy Merlot (Argentina)
Best bottled lager: Cains finest lager (proper stuff, gorgeous cold)
Best draught lager: Staropramen
Best bitter: Moorhouses Pendle Witch (from Burnley, I know, I know)
Best place to buy wine: Majestic (just gets better)
Best vodka: Absolut Citron (keep it in the freezer and serve neat over ice)
Best champagne: Veuve Clicquot
Best late night tipple: brandy warmed and in a big glass
Best stout: Guiness in Dublin, obvious but so true

At last - something we agree on!
Pubs seem like a distant memory since kids came along. They don't seem the same anymore and I don't like the way they have all become clones or try too hard.
Seems like a night in reading or catching up with the world in your blog with me coco is excitment now...
Slippers and a pipe next...
(Michael, Are you doing the GMR in May?)
