Fellow Wine Lovers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The verbal evidence part of the Covid inquiry ended this week with Rishi Sunak. Our poor beleaguered Prime Minister was unable to recall so many discussions, meetings or passwords to his WhatsApp that we found ourselves wondering if all prospective Cabinet Ministers should undergo memory tests before being offered the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parliament then passed a bill basically stating that, regardless of anyone else\u2019s opinion, Rwanda was a safe country. It seemed to us rather like passing a law that stated that all cats are now dogs in the eyes of the government but what do we know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just when you thought the world couldn\u2019t any sillier, we find that Kemi Badenoch is rather keen to fill the shoes left behind by mad Nads. This week the Business and Equalities Minister called a study into the 14th<\/sup> Century plague \u2018woke archaeology\u2019 and that the study risks undermining trust in modern health services. What is she expecting it to unearth? Will we discover a stock of hessian masks that have been stored for centuries? Is there a luxury hoy out there, paid for with the ill-gotten gains of a fast-track herb saleswoman?<\/p>\n\n\n\n We were all of a flutter to discover that Tesco has had to recall its Finest Apple & Cranberry Stuffing Mix because it may contain moths! Over the pond, Tesla has recalled two million vehicles after the autopilot software was found to be less good at avoiding things than it should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking of Christmas treats, many of you will recall that we have a seasonal beauty in Foxdenton Christmas Liqueur (\u00a325). <\/strong>Made with Winslow Plums and a blend of traditional Christmas spices including Ginger, Clove, Cinnamon, and Star Anise, our Christmas Liqueur, is the ideal winter warmer. All this needs is a mince pie and an open fire. It\u2019s been known to share a glass of fizz too, in a Christmas spiced upgrade to a Kir Royale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We still have some stock of the six bottle Claret Case at \u00a3135<\/strong> and the enormously popular Christmas Case at \u00a3150. <\/strong>Tasting notes attached for your perusal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CHRISTMAS OPENING HOURS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n MONDAY 18th – SATURDAY 23rd DECEMBER 12 NOON \u2013 7PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n SUNDAY 24th DECEMBER 12 NOON \u2013 4PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n MONDAY 25th – THURSDAY 28th DECEMBER CLOSED<\/p>\n\n\n\n FRIDAY 29th & SATURDAY 30th DECEMBER 12 NOON \u2013 6PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n SUNDAY 31st DECEMBER 12 NOON \u2013 5PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n MONDAY 1st – THURSDAY 4th JANUARY CLOSED<\/p>\n\n\n\n FRIDAY 5th JANUARY 12 NOON \u2013 7PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n BACK TO NORMAL<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the tasting front this weekend, we\u2019ll dip our taste buds into Sylvain Dussort Bourgogne Blanc Cuv\u00e9e Des Ormes 2020 (\u00a327.99)<\/strong>. Some of you are familiar with this wine and know how close to Meursault it is, style wise. Those of you who have yet to experience the pleasure should really drop in and try it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the red front, we\u2019ll go and visit Spain, specifically Ribera del Duero. Corimbo 2018 (\u00a327.99)<\/strong> is a deliciously polished red, rich and spicy with forest fruit and a little fuller bodied than a Rioja. What\u2019s not to like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plus, for the sweeter toothed, we have the Krohn LBV 2016 (\u00a318.99)<\/strong>, which appears in our Christmas Day case. Krohn ports always seem to punch above their weight for us and the generous plummy characters, freshness and pure berry fruit are surely the best way to end the day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fellow Wine Lovers, The verbal evidence part of the Covid inquiry ended this week with Rishi Sunak.
