You’re getting there Helen! I expect to see a proper wine write up soon! It was a great day, we have to get out of London more often. Remember Ridgeview from the impromptu tasting at Waitrose? They could be next on the list of vineyard visits.

What a fun read!
I read about the British wine event on another blog and promptly tried to find some British wine in SF. No such luck! Given that Napa is close by might be a hard sell, but I am going to talk with my local wine shop about getting some here. Where’s the selection?

Although a few of the wines you described sound like they were served before their time. Hmm, passionfruit and coconut – sounds like a tropical experience.

Helen – You must give it a go! I am convinced it is all about confidence now. We should do some tasting together.
Dan – Yeah, everyone was talking about Chapel Down on the day, I’m going to see if I can track some down tomorrow.
Boo – I was very relieved to hear it too – sometimes I thought I might be going mad! I think people can be stuffy and snobby about wine – this needs to change!
Lizzie – Me too
Jenn – ah some of them were disappointing I must admit but some gooduns in there too.
Andrew – Thanks again for such a brilliant day – as you can see I learned a lot!
Mark – Hi coconut passionfruit buddy! Yeah it was wicked. Not sure we should be proud of our antics with the lager on the way home though…
Jonathan – I know – revenge, sweet, spitty revenge…
Dave – I know, I am rather lucky aren’t I?
Dan – I think you are onto a winner with that title. I would start writing the script if I were you…
Dan – Oh I did indeed have a case of the wine flu – a bad case! Something to do with the fact I found myself in a bar in Soho until 2am perhaps?

Big question though Helen is…did you have one of your trademark hangovers? Or perhaps Wine Flu?

Looks like you’re getting there on your quest/thirst for wine knowledge.

Revenge of the Pig! would make a great film title don’t you think?

Really wish I had been able to come. Sounds like a super day with a lot of very fun people. I love the fact that you got slobbered on by a pig. Classic.

This was a fun day. A couple of the wines really surprised me, especially the Brightwell red and the Limney Estate sparkler (which totally smelt like coconut – we clearly share good noses!).
