No, not Xfm- but this wine rocks! 😆 Indigenous Greek variety Moschofilero suits any number of styles - fizz, rosé, white - and orange. From master of the variety @Tseleposwines, this should rightfully be flying off the shelves of every East London natural wine bar.
#naturalwine – at Tripoli, Greece
Superb visit to @DOMAINESKOURAS in the southern tip of PDO Nemea, Greece. A great line up of local varieties and mega winemaking skills. There’s so much variety to explore in Greek wine - I’m hooked! – at Lyrkeia, Greece
So, back home late afternoon after 2 vineyard tours in 30 degree heat
‘Shall we go to a wine fair?’
‘Yep.’
So glad we did. Got a taste of this super ltd Bordeaux from #chateaujulia in Pauillac, from Benedict Butterworth, having just read about it @noblerotmag

Mystery bottle in my @TheWineSociety delivery today! No label, no branding on the capsule. Tempted to just open it blind and see what comes out! 🧐🤔

Left London 6.30am. Tasting wine by 4pm. Not bad!
Return after 10 yrs to Dme de Bellivière in Coteaux-du-Loir (confusingly not on the #Loire but the Loir!) Super-expressive, age worthy #biodynamic wines made in new gravity-fed winery, from #CheninBlanc and local Pineau d'Aunis. – at Lhomme, France
Another awesome performance from Hull soon-to-be-legends @smellybdrmm at @roughtrade tonight. New material sounding superb!
Just unearthed a copy of Spiral Scratch from 1988 while looking for my Smiths LPs. With a handy guide to every live performance 1982-86. Sure that will come in handy at some point. Good job I kept it. 🤔 – at Hackney, London
Heading to the #Loire in the summer (#Saumur to #Sancerre). Any good wine book recommendations for the region or individual AOCs?
Sadly no @cwl_wine guide available at the mo. 😞

So, looks like finding a new ISP has gone to the top of my Easter to-do list. @virginmedia are a disaster.

Can’t wait to be back at this brilliant community market. And we’re opening the gates from midday for the community to come in and see London’s vineyard
We’re back! Forty Hall Farmers’ Market on Easter Sunday @fortyhallfarm Buy direct from local producers, enjoy great food & drink, explore the working farm complete with new born lambs & vineyard @fhvlondon too 💚@capelmanor @EnfieldVegCo @EnfieldCouncil
Some very impressive wines from Nova Scotia @winegrowersns tasting. A challenging climate (frost in June! 🥶) means hybrid varieties are common, incl some familiar in UK, though vinifera varieties are grown too. Loved these 2 sparklings from @Benjamin_Bridge and @BlomidonEstate

Nice to see a small selection of vineyards with accommodation in @standardnews.

Another superb show from @smellybdrmm last night, supporting the peerless @mogwaiband @TheGarageHQ. Go see them. – at Hackney, London
So, what’s the first thing you’d reach for when you’ve just passed your @WSETglobal #Diploma? @ZaltoGlas & a superb bottle of @Nyetimber CC ‘09 of course! 🥂🍾

I do love these festive London editions of @Nyetimber! Very New Year’s Eve appropriate, for us London folk at least. – at Hackney, London
Our guides for a weekend in Burgundy. (Annoyingly left my Chablis one at home 🙄) – at Meursault, France
