Over to Dalemain – north end of Ullswater – for our biennial show. Rain held off almost to the end. Probably my favourite wine event. Deep in remote beautiful countryside yet looked like about 700 came. Such enthusiasm. So many compliments for our staff … not me … just our staff!
The new 2010 Domaine Rieste was my showstopper … never got that much 'Sauvignon' flavour from a little Gascon inexpensive white before … and it’s not even Sauvignon - mostly Colombard. Jane's garden a treat.
Stocked up on local organic meat and cheeses while there. I do think wine and food shows are more fun that just wine alone.
Thank you staff and customers; a lovely day out!
Back to Coniston. The Bluebird cafe has reopened after the floods and is now doing dinners beside the Water. Very pleasant.
Just a couple days’ hols left. Looking forward to getting back now.
