Nice to see the old friends; Steven Spurrier, Joanna Simon, Hugh, Charles Metcalf Antony Rose and lots of new. Several are young, female, gorgeous and French. Good move.
I have always shied away from Press Tastings myself (these new events are the initiative of our Buyers). It's not that I'm shy. Just terrified. So, true to form, kept nipping out to our shop.
Played around with the displays in the Arch, trying to make wine bins that cost nothing - using old pallets - now that's something I've always loved; rough carpentry. It's in my blood.
Also recording a slideshow commentary to make the website a bit more fun. Watch out for that!
Evening...
Back to that huge vineyard, more stakes! Bang, bang, bang. And I get a text from the boy "Hi Dad! just stopped for lunch in Nuits St. Georges". Sons eh? Swanning through Burgundy on a 'Stag' do driving to Monte Carlo! Stag nights were not like that in my day! Bang, bang, BANG!
