Fellow Wine Lovers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, we have the report from the Commons Privileges Committee and, as suspected, it\u2019s not a great read if your name is Boris Johnson. We suspect that\u2019s why he spat the dummy last week but, in our heart of hearts, we all knew, didn\u2019t we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here at Park Vintners we are very heartened to discover there are one or two people in the Palace of Westminster who have the spine to display some integrity in public life and to defend what little is left of our democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But let\u2019s cut to the chase, what could we do in 90 days?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First up, we\u2019ll be ditching our security detail and heading off to Perugia. Our friend\u2019s Daddy has a lovely castle nearby and throws the most amazing weekend parties. He always has great wine, banging music and canapes to die for. We won\u2019t mention the blondes, as Silvio can\u2019t be there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then we\u2019ll borrow Bamfies jet and fly over to the States. Do you have any idea what they pay for someone to bumble along with notes from the back of an envelope after dinner? They even give you a free feed too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bank balance restored, maybe Mustique on the way back, it\u2019s always good to break a journey with a beach, and we really like this one. Rossy always lends us his house and the gin cupboard is always well stocked; Wilf even has his own armbands for the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then back to Italy, it\u2019ll be time for another party and I\u2019ve had a break on the passport stamps. That ninety day visa thing really is bothersome, who negotiated that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That Michel Barnier thinks he\u2019s the big joker. He sent me a link to an article “Here Are 6 Things You Can Do In 90 Days To Get Your Life Together”, <\/em>it\u2019s full of woke nonsense like helping people and paying off your debts. Doesn\u2019t he know I had it oven ready and rolled out a vaccine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m going to pop in and see Jacob in Somerset, he\u2019s dull and rather smarmy but Nanny\u2019s trifle is off the scale! Might see if Pater is at the farm whilst I\u2019m down there but I suspect he\u2019s off in Greece sulking about the ermine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mad-Nads finally saw some sense and realised that by not resigning as an MP she can get two salaries for the same work. Must phone her and ask for Lady Dorries or is it too soon do you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amazing how much can be fitted into 90 days, Phileas Fogg made it around the world in less time. Mind you, Carrie is no Passepartout!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tasting This Weekend<\/p>\n\n\n\n Given the forecast, we\u2019ll go with something pink in the white corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our parcel of Ros\u00e9 de B\u00e9arn 2022 (\u00a310.99)<\/strong> has arrived. From the foothills of the Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es, this blend of Cabernet Franc and Tannat is really rather scrummy. Pale in the glass, dry with wild strawberry and raspberry notes – bang on with a barbecue, a picnic or just in the garden with some neighbours over the fence!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Casa Silva Cool Coast Pinot Noir 2021 (\u00a318.99)<\/strong> Hailing from the coastal vineyards of the Colchagua Valley, this is a proper cool climate Pinot Noir with a nose filled with red fruit notes, strawberries, raspberries and a subtle background note of cinnamon and spice from the French oak it spent 12 months reposing in. An excellent length of finish and a real pleasure to drink – lamb leg steaks on the barbecue should be perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With that we\u2019re off, but not before wishing Mr Johnson a very Happy Birthday for Monday, AKA the 3rd<\/sup> anniversary of \u2018ambush by cake\u2019 and the beginning of the end!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fellow Wine Lovers, So, we have the report from the Commons Privileges Committee and, as suspected, it\u2019s not a great read if your name is Boris Johnson.
