I've made a boo boo. I bought Chardonnay to have with limoncello but I've realised it's pinot noir which if not mistaken is red bubbles. I do have lemon, lime and bitters mineral water so I could just use that instead.

Hrmm pinot shouldn't be bubbles.

Still drink it though with limoncello for science :)

Yeah fuck it I'm gonna do it! After all it does say it has citrus notes so that's good enough for me.

Right after I make my coffee and have it I’m going to join you with a sweet red.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I swear we think alike because I've just finished a coffee and I've popped a bottle in the fridge for Ron.

Don’t suppose you’re going to put on the women’s test cricket as well?

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not sure. There is cricket highlights on the telly right now but I'm not really watching because I'm fluffing around doing stuff.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago

Fair enough. We’re not doing too well in this test at the moment. I’m doing something in the background as well, feels like I’ve been faffing around so much lately.

I don’t know where the time is going!

Pinot can be white bubbles, tastes a bit like cashews. The noir bit would mean red though.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

All I saw was the green bottle and the gold covered cork and went yep bubbles. Luckily for me it's Aldi's award winning top shelf fizz so I should be alright.

What's the worst that can happen? An atrocious colour. Meh.

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you want atrocious try mixing Baileys with Sambucca. Long ago mistake!

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh that's just mental. 😂

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It curdled. I drank it anyway. Ah, University…..

[–] bacon@aussie.zone 3 points 10 months ago

I did it as a dare, mixed baileys and red bull

[–] calhoon2005@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago

Ha. I remember that experience.
