@nealmartin ditches the sneakers for a sparkly pair of ruby slippers. ‘There’s no place like home’. Hilarious opening. Accurate assessment of where @DanburyRidge is right now and where it’s headed in the future.
@atkinson_mw @nealmartin @DanburyRidge Love the opening as a non Essex boy married to an Essex girl!
Don’t you DARE buy these before we’ve got ours 😖🍷🫵
@michaeleda @atkinson_mw @67pallmall @DanburyRidge Ha! No space in original post. The 2021 Pinot Noir took me to roundabouts Volnay on a cooler vintage. Some violet, red cherry, raspberry and a hint of orange zest and light sweet spice. Ready for drinking now though may gain a bit more complexity from some further cellar aging.
Thanks @atkinson_mw for meeting @67pallmall & letting me taste @DanburyRidge ‘21 Chardonnay & ‘21 PN. The Chard transported me to Puligny Montrachet with delish hay, acacia & sublime stone fruit minerality. As somm Elton said, “Blind, it’s going to catch out a lot of somms!”.👍🏼
This is the view from the bottom of the vineyard pit in Dona Paula’s Alluvia. Look at those roots, struggling to survive and then somehow producing wines redolent of the incense of an ancient Catholic Cathedral. Ah, nature, coaxed into splendour but not controlled by human hand.
‘Vanuatu’, the country immediately below ‘United Kingdom’ on the drop down menu. My data captured, its residents will now be spammed for decades to come. Apologies à tous.
Proudly receiving my Officier Gong from the Ambassador at the stunning French Residence in Kensington Palace Gardens. And, of course, ace ultra-French patisserie canapés and very tasty Mumm Champagne. The Entente Cordiale is 120 years old this year. Long may it continue

So, underwater ageing. Does it have any effect? I'm perplexed by the Oxford Companion to Wine entry. It talks about temperature (nothing unique), pressure (this has no effect if the bottle stays intact!), salinity (this has no effect unless the closure fails) ... cont

@adamboultonTABB @FT Best still English wine at the moment is @DanburyRidge both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are superb.
@adamboultonTABB @DanburyRidge pinot is fabulous. Not cheap but exceptional. Served it to some friends before Christmas and no one could believe it was English (which I mean in the nicest possible way!)
