YEOVIL boss Darren Way wants to give Jose Mourinho a taste of the West Country by getting him on the CIDERS.
Bristol City gaffer Lee Johnson bought a £450 bottle of Barca Velha red wine to share with The Special One after his team faced Manchester United in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals in December.
Way, 38, is now plotting become the second boss in the South West to get the better of Mourinho in the space of six weeks.
As they did at Ashton Gate, United are likely to get another rendition of The Wurzels' song 'Drink Up Thee Cider' when they take on the lowest-ranked team left in the FA Cup.
And Way then wants Mourinho to share a Somerset tipple with him after the fourth-round clash at Huish Park.
He said: "I'm going to give him both options, so I'll try and find a nice bottle of wine and somebody's actually sourcing that, who I trust, Domenico of Tamburino's (restaurant in Yeovil).
"I want to make sure that we can offer him a good Somerset cider of Thatchers.
"He's coming down to Somerset, so it's important that he is actually privy to what we drink down here."
Way's own playing career was brought to an abrupt end following a serious car crash in December 2008.
And he revealed he formed a special relationship with United after former boss Sir Alex Ferguson sent a team to play in his testimonial match at Huish Park in 2010.

The former midfielder added: "Man United have been very supportive towards me throughout my career - and certainly at my lowest point, a big thanks goes to Sir Alex.
"They have got a touch of class with the way they deal with people who they can offer their services to.
"Without them I probably wouldn't be sat here where I am now because they have made my life easier for my family and I appreciate them bringing a team down."
Yeovil faced United in a third-round clash three years ago, with the hosts going down 2-0 against Louis van Gaal's side after goals from Ander Herrera and Angel di Maria.
Lee Johnson's dad Gary was the Glovers' boss that day, but now it is Way's turn to try and slay the biggest club in the land.
Way added: "Now to be sat here and going up against them as a manager, with Mourinho (in charge), it is an unbelievable story.

"This is about us playing against Manchester United, being the underdogs and putting in a performance in front of the cameras.
"To beat one of the best teams in the world or take them back to Old Trafford, that would be a fantastic moment."
