Not quite sure how, but one of the cats caught this poor fella earlier. Which got me wondering- why are moles never muddy? 🤔

Wonderful few days at #jacquesselosse with another memorable tasting with Anselme. Highest of highlights were the 2008, 2010 and Les Chantereines and Les Carelles 2021 tasted still in barrique. Mind blown.

The true wonder of this wine has finally, fully dawned on me, cooking burgers shamelessly on a hibachi grill. Somewhere between Burgundy and Amarone. 10y reserve- complimenti to @cadeimaghiwine

Was in the Woolpack pub in Slad (Laurie Lee’s old local) the other day. I kid you not, spotted a couple, he with a cider, she with a rosé. Inspired me to work on a new cocktail, ‘the Laurie Lee’. First prototype, with ‘help’ from @annabuttercup , rank.

Always wondered why shaving foam had a lid. 🙄

Hoping somebody out there might be able to direct a quality human with great spirit, ability and enthusiasm for wine and life to become our Wine Manager. A heady mix of retail/restaurant/trade/agency (inc Jacques Selosse) awaits. Generous Finder’s fee if it works out! 🍾

So Kylie Jenner has 37,500 followers for every one of mine. I was fine with that (quality not quantity) until I realised more of my daughters follow her than me. #fail

Forget HS2, just make the *!<#ing wifi on trains work! And improve the range of wines available by the glass. And ban people sat opposite me eating smelly chicken. And ask for proof of deodorant as well as vaccination. Rant over.

Thoughts on how to handle a diner adding lemonade to a glass of Vega Sicilia? 🤯

There are a number of things I struggle to comprehend at this time of year, but top of the list has to be wreath making. I would rather pluck frosted nasal hair- even my own. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Been a while since I’ve had a ‘Massif d’Uchaux’, but loving the wines from De Boel, and I don’t think it’s just because the label compliments my wallpaper.

Great to see former ‘protégés’ head off into the world of wine to forge their own paths. Especially when they return from a ‘stage’ at a top Burgundy domain with ‘samples’. Cheers Will- look forward to following your career (as long as the samples keep coming! 😉)

A star bottle this. £20 Cotes de Bourg that tastes like decent Pomerol. Can’t think of too many wines that offer as much bang for your buck. From Bordeaux?! 🤯A moment of clarety (sorry!).

Belated 50th catch up with my old mate @milescorish A few gems already, and whilst the night is still young, this is undoubtedly the wine of the night… extraordinary.
