Ooo...I'm like a kiddie in a sweet shop

[Harryburgundy]

New wines arrived...Occhipinti SP68, Cos Nero di Lupo (we already have their Pithos and Frappato) and another two wines from Olivier Cousin, his Gamay and Per Breton. Yum

I tried using google translator for this.
It didnt work.


No bubble wrap for such fragilde items?

 

[Harryburgundy]

No, cardboard is (usually) just fine.

Olivier Cousin is quite a character and faces jail and or heafty fine for giving the local authorities the two-fingered salute

Paradoxically he produces some of the finest wine in the Loire Valley

Huh!

S'all french to me.

Thats hefty though. They really take their wines seriously - always have i suppose.

Should the authorities be threatening a man who in the second link photo bears an uncanny resemblance to DeNiro? You talking to me?

So...i heard on the radio that 2009 was a really good year wine wise?
Do you think would be worth investing in a few cases as an investment?
Not something i'd normally do but i've got a few spare quids kicking about

Thought Monty drank sherry. Thought it was Withnail who wanted the "finest wines available to humanity". That said, as I recall, he seemed to get something of a kick out of lighter fluid, too...

Which, in the final take, was actually vinegar as opposed to the water used in rehearsals - Withnail's reaction was quite genuine!
