I taste wines, but mostly I just write. Nice break to go up to The Arch and meet real people at a little tasting. It was set up as a contest between The Arch's lovely Rachael and me. We each present wines, as persuasively as possible. Then everyone votes. She very nearly beat me. Has been doing her homework, that girl. Pretty too.
Unfair. The wines were:
Tony (triumphant old-world wines)
28123 Un Vent de Folie Vermentino 2010 (call 0845 194 7720 for details)
38402 Pagos da Tahola Reserva 2004
73112 Le Font del Bosc 2005
Rachael (pipped-at-the-post, new-world wines)
27920 Babich Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2010
62639 Fairview The Back Road Carignan 2009
We had a Board Meeting – but I'll not bore you – and we had the Theale HQ End-of-Year Party in the car park. Which a few might remember. Simon did a long, excellent speech covering the world. I said two words and got much applause … they were all starving.
