I didn't know what a GPL vehicle was until you just gave a hint[1]. Something to do with fuel-air explosives, then?

I discovered a Denner hidden away on the top level of the central shops last month (I'd only ever used the Migros and Co-op before).

Not all of it. Much of the white, particularly stuff like Fendant, I would agree is limp and acidic at the same time, but there are some excellent red Dôles de Valais to be had, especially if you visit the producing towns on the Northern slopes of the valley. Sadly most of is it kept for the locals - you can still get the good stuff in, say, Zermatt or Saas Fee, but even just a couple of hours drive away it's much more difficult to find.

I've never once seen it outside of CH. Ah, I don't drink much red wine nowadays. I find it (especially the more pedestrian Swiss reds) too laxative...

I have one under my office and for getting some BBQ compatible reds its the shop of choice. They stock some nice teeth-staining aussie wines as well. I do like the Swiss Fendant though, with a fondue, and theres a few other whites I've tried whos names escape me now. Swiss reds though, I've found a few that I like but its not often. |
