About Me

My Photo
One of my top priorities in life is to endeavour to live it as an inspired person: to see the world as fresh promise of the curious and strange; every morning the unexplored, beautiful and possible - even on those days where it seems nothing's going right. I'm a lover of hot sauce and cookie dough. A Creator. I translate abstractions others are unwilling or unable to do. I slice, I dice, I even make chips. I've learned a few things out here in the world, though the greatest, most fascinating, most important thing I've learned is how much I don't know. I'm forever seeking the trail of the next adventure, big, small, foreign or domesti - even the next postcode. I'd love to get a Eurail pass and hitch a trail ‘cross Europe. The Romance of a tooled leather-bound atlas has always held a certain appeal: faraway places with strange sounding names.

Zut alors! Le Domaine André Brunel, Vin de Pays Rhône Vaucluse 2007 (14%) arrivé!

Right, that is enough (probably rubbish) français for now in the title. The case of Rhône Wine Futures I ordered last month arrived today, and for those whose French is as limited as mine, it is all the way from the Vaucluse region, to the right of the Rhône river in the South on your map of France.


 It is utterly delicious. If you want to treat you guests - or paramor - to a Châteauneuf-like experience, but don't want to frighten the wallet then try this. It is a touch sweeter than a budget Pape, and far leaner in body, yes but beware: though it is 14%, its black forest black cherry overtones make for a deceptively quaffable glass and may be knocked back with gay abandon when served at parties. For £6 a bottle, what do you want? Château Lafite? Buy, buy, buy with confidence and enjoy within a year.
