Fellow Wine Lovers,<\/span><\/p>\n Ed Miliband goes walkabout in Walworth and ends up with egg on his face, England played footy with Scotland and the goalposts don\u2019t take the tube home, and Stuart Broad\u2019s imperious bowling put England at 3-0 in the Ashes (was that really only Monday?) If you\u2019ve a ticket for the Oval probably best to wear your party frock. <\/span><\/p>\n Elsewhere the Premiership kicks off this weekend, Arsenal have been active all summer, selling left, right, and centre (using Suarez as a smoke screen?), Crystal Palace, Fulham and Tottenham have all been signing, and Hawkeye gets to join in the fun too. Finally, is it just me, or does anybody else think David Moyes is already assuming grumpier persona?<\/span><\/p>\n Wine News<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Harvesting in California for the sparkling wines got underway this week, as we mentioned last week the harvest is a bit early this year. \u00a0<\/span>Elsewhere, we\u2019re glad to have no further hail to speak of.<\/span><\/p>\n Whilst I\u2019m talking about California I\u2019ll mention that Cambria Katherine\u2019s Vineyard Chardonnay 2007 (\u00a322.99)<\/i><\/b> is back in stock, along with its sibling, Cambria Julia\u2019s Vineyard Pinot Noir 2009 (\u00a324.99)<\/i><\/b>!<\/span><\/p>\n Park Vintners Wine School <\/span><\/span><\/b>\u2013 term begins 18th<\/sup> September at 8pm.
