My Wine of the week
With the positive chill in the air this morning it is perhaps now wise to start thinking of suitable, hearty reds for the Winter. We have a small parcel of 10 cases of Guigal’s 2000 Vintage Gigondas and it has reached its perfect maturity. Anywhere else they would probably be working on the 2006 and circa £ 17-26 a Bottle.
A taste of Rhône – Gigondas 2000:
Gigondas 2000 Southern Rhône, É.Guigal at £ 15.00 per Bottle
Classic earthy, characterful, heading towards rustic but at full maturity, chewy, gentle and easy.
All one needs is a hearty stew.
Weekly Indulgence
(Just 12 Bottles available of)
St-Hallett “Old Block” Shiraz 1996
Barossa Valley, Australia at £ 33.00 per Bottle.
A renowned Barossa and a real treat with this unusual amount of bottle age.
(Only web price is circa £ 45 a Bottle)
Silly Season
Much to write this week but alas time eludes.
Still plenty to digest over the Ed & Dave Show. Personally I am struggling to get beyond Dave and his mono-brow. Nothing wrong with that, outside one of H.M.’s Prison’s, but just leaves me wondering, does Ed shave his unlike his brother?! His aside to Harriet Harman during little bro’s speech was I thought fair on all levels. All this and the Pantomime Season is yet to begin. The only real shocker to me about this whole, affair, was when of Dave Mili was standing on his North London doorstep, wearing what could only be described as something best seen in a Nightclub. Politicians never ever ever ever, ever, should try and look trendy. Miliband Senior – may I suggest a white shirt as looking like a City Accountant would be infinitely preferable.
Nearly the perfect weekend when I was told that Arsenal were within a whisker of being 4-0 down against “The Baggies”. That is West Bromwich Albion to most of you.
