Fellow Wine Lovers,<\/p>\n
So, as Alex and I strolled down Hollywood Boulevard the other day, we chuckled to ourselves; our first film pitch had turned into box-office gold despite the implausible storyline and now we were heading off to pitch the sequel.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo!\u201d said our chum Martin, \u201cWhat have you got for me!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re moving more into a legal drama now.\u201d We said excitedly, talking over each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the Feds kicked the door in at the end of the first movie, the investigation moved up a notch. Before you could say \u2018Give us a bung\u2019 the old men were falling over themselves to tell tales. It turns out that apart from Kickball those gnarly fingers were in many pies, and it may be they tried to buy the entire election of a Caribbean island just to get some more offshore banking facilities!<\/p>\n
So as the Feds noose tightens they all trip out their tales of remorse, several of them suddenly become too infirm to stand trial, and one of them, whose sons had confessed years earlier, even cries during a live TV expos\u00e9!\u201d<\/p>\n
At this point Martin just shakes his head \u201cNobody will ever make this one guys, you got lucky the first time, but I told you before, storylines have to be believable, now go back to the wine, at least you can work a corkscrew.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut!\u201d we splutter, \u201cwhat about the bit where the good looking ex-footballer David Ginever becomes president and World Cup audiences almost double!\u201d
\n\u201cWINE!\u201d Martin said, more firmly.<\/p>\n
Here we are again in Wimbledon Park…<\/p>\n

\nWe\u2019re still working on the wines but Cheese-wise we\u2019re going with a Welsh Black Bomber, a Morangie Brie (whilst there\u2019s still free trade with Scotland!) a Ribblesdale Blue Goat\u2019s Cheese (the cheese is blue not the goat!), and a Wensleydale from Kit Calvert (did he manage The Who, we wonder?).
\nRos\u00e9 Tasting \u2013 Thursday 9th July at 8pm – \u00a320<\/strong>
\nWe\u2019re thinking pink here, the evening will feature Ros\u00e9 in its many forms. Still, dry, fruit, fizzy and from Champagne. There\u2019s talk of strawberries and we might even get Wayne to wear a pink shirt!
\nDerby Day (already!)<\/strong>
\nSo it seems the smart money is on Frankie Dettori and Golden Horn, but you know us better than that, we going for a cheeky each way on Hans Holbein!
\nTasting this Weekend<\/strong>
\nAlex is definitely in the chair this week, he\u2019ll regale you with tales of Derring do on a mackerel boat, digging for oil in the bunkers of golf clubs across the Costa del Sol (I think he called for a rescue club!) who knows maybe even something useful about the wine.
\nWhite wise we\u2019ll go with Domaine du Salvard Cheverny (\u00a312.39)<\/strong> a delicious Loire refresher that is a blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Chardonnay, married marvellously in stainless steel and bang on for that 20c the weatherman is promising.
\nBurlesque Zinfandel (\u00a39.79)<\/strong> is putting in time in the red corner, a delicious old vine example that is pitch perfect for all manner of things cooked over coals.
\nSo drop by, say hi, have a taster and we\u2019ll talk about horses….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
