My recent lack of posting has been due to two important events. First, I spent all of July in Spain, and other than a few days tasting sherry in Jerez, there isn't much to mention on the wine front, other than the fact that nearly all the house wine I drank for a pittance was of very good quality. You usually never knew what you were drinking, but it didn't matter. The house wines go with the food, and do the job when you are on holiday and on a budget!
Examples of Sherries, Jerez de la Frontera
Fino Sherry
The second event of note is that after I got back to London from Spain, I decided not to drink for a month....I made it 25 days (a first for me!) and broke my alcohol fast last Saturday night after running a terrain race in Wales. I celebrated with a bottle of Pouilly Fuisse.
I will aim to post more regularly, as I drink through some of my collection before moving back to San Francisco at the end of September. After a few years here in Europe, Napa - here I come!
