Cheap agreeable red wine; poultry with coltan endoskeleton

[mtbc]

Tesco, a UK grocery store chain, sell a range of wines bearing the Quirky Bird label. We have a red from 2012 blending Shiraz, Mourvèdre and Viognier from South Africa and it's really very drinkable for the low price, fairly dry and smooth. It's not excitingly sophisticated but I am blissful in my ignorance: at wine tastings I'm more likely to make a beeline for the accompanying cheese. Right now I am enjoying a Glenfiddich 14-year-old rich oak whisky which is also quite smooth and simple.

Our meat scissors are no match for our Thanksgiving turkey. For spatchcocking we may have to look into procuring a surgical saw or somesuch for next time!
