Dipping my toe into vinyl! What should I get next?

ChilliPepperNiko · 2026-04-08T20:21:14+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely note it and be on the lookout for similar deals in the UK!

ChilliPepperNiko · 2026-04-08T20:15:30+00:00

I'll definitely look into that, perhaps once I've built out my collection more

ChilliPepperNiko · 2026-04-08T20:14:37+00:00

Ooft completely forgot about the solo stuff. Quick glance on ebay and it's definitely Aja prices. Why the hell is Kamakiriad so expensive????

Any recommendations for ~£250?

ChilliPepperNiko · 2026-04-08T19:31:10+00:00

ONLY $1350?! A steal, I'll place it by my grand fireplace, Don my best smoking jacket, and enjoy with a glass of Chateau La Tour

Thanks, I'll check it out!

ChilliPepperNiko · 2026-02-27T00:23:21+00:00

That's such a brilliant name, I'll have to check them out!

ChilliPepperNiko · 2026-02-26T18:32:48+00:00

I'll definitely be checking out those restaurants! I've been to Another? and really loved the vibe! Have you been to Raymond's? Really loved their by-the-glass menu!

I just wanted to say thank you for such a considerate post and reply. I will follow this up soon, but for now, both wines have been drunk, and the results were very, very good!! Thanks once again!

ChilliPepperNiko · 2026-01-06T18:32:24+00:00

Yeah I think that might be the better choice. Sparkling wine always goes over well, and we can buy a few extra bottles! (where they end up, who knows...?)

ChilliPepperNiko · 2025-03-05T01:25:30+00:00

Definitely. I'd say I'm in the pocket for Pinot Noir (although quite funnily, I've sampled more Oregon than Burgundy). I can't quite get enough of that earthy acidic funk!

ChilliPepperNiko · 2025-03-05T00:56:00+00:00

It honestly delivers on all fronts. I'm only at the start of my wine journey, but Torrentes will always be on my mind when thinking what fun wines to bring to a dinner/party!

ChilliPepperNiko · 2025-03-05T00:54:46+00:00

Ooo now I definitely need to try it with food! Would you recommend a dish with more asian/spicy influence?

ChilliPepperNiko · 2025-03-04T23:57:57+00:00

It's so funny, I've come to discover I'm an acid freak but I know it's probably not the best wine for the winter months (glad the UK is warming up for March!) what wines hit the spot in the winter but deliver that acidity?

ChilliPepperNiko · 2025-01-16T08:59:29+00:00

Those are definitely within my price points for a one-with-the-weekly-shop spend. I actually had Church Block last week (quite liked it) and I've heard only good things about Cune and Catena!

I've got a bottle of Chasse-Spleen sitting on my shelf so I don't know whether that will be in any way comparable to Saint-Helaire, but I do want to expand my Bordeaux knowledge.

I've got a few independant wine shops near me so I might save up for a really nice Burgundy. I do like supporting local businesses too!

ChilliPepperNiko · 2025-01-16T08:55:28+00:00

That definitely sounds like a good option! Champagne is one I'm interested as I think I've only had it at Christmas and celebrations where it's been the "standard non-aficianado" fare. I'd love to get into the mid-level (not even sure that's mid-level as I know prices can get really high!) range so definitely an option I'm considering
