Well, it seems that there is a biccie appreciation society among us.
Just checked my cupboard and it seems I have a stockpile of dunking delights: M&S Dutch Shortcake biscuits, Bourbon creams, milk chocolate-coated butter biscuits, and all-butter shortbread fingers. Any takers?
JJ - I don't actually eat biscuits, except for on the rare occasion when I need a sweet fix. The ex stocked up on them when he was over in England with me the other week and brought them back in his suitcase.
barmaid/NoM......oooops! sorry barmaid didn't see you........well I was going to suggest a pleasant evening with you and NoM as inviting you both, would put you at your ease, as dining with someone of my prescence could well be daunting for you both.
NoM.....anything from the Ribero del Duero........Haza, Protos..........the Crianza.........I cannot tell the difference in tast between Crianza and Reserva.
Craft - an iced coffee would be very welcome right now.
Sqad - I love the Protos too. I've tried Roble, Crianza and Reserva. Like you, I cannot differentiate between the latter two, and so have concluded that the Reserva is not worth paying the extra 14 or so euros for. Mercadona do a Gran reserva for about 35 euros or something, but I haven't tried that. I have to say though that I am leaning towards cold white wine in this weather.
