Despite the balminess of today, nothing says summer is over like the appearance of a robin in the garden. The staple of Christmas cards and early Michael Jackson hopped along the garden as I was making tea this morning, which got me to thinking what do I want to acheive before the year is out.
I've done a lot of major stuff this year already and there's more of that sort to come so I figure the rest should be fun wine stuff! Here's my top 3...
1. Drink my 1977 bottle of port
Wine from the birth year is a classic and sadly 1977 was a hideous year for champagne but luckily port has come through and saved the day. Hopefully it will be cold enough before I depart to allow for sipping it in front of a real fire.
2. Drink things I can't find easily in Oz
Like Cava. Tangy, fruity and luscious German whites. English fizz. The entire Dom. Paul Mas range. Planeta Cometa. Delicious fruity and interesting red and rose Navarra wines. Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere. Boutique gin. Yorkshire tea...
3. Fizz, fish, chip..
A proper chippy, nothing oven made or a modern twist of. I want it battered, fried and ideally with mushy peas, red sauce and lashings of salt and vinegar. Served in paper alongside a chilled bottle of Bollinger.
