19 Crimes anyone?

This was a substitute in our food delivery, we were going to try some Somerset Wraxall Bacchus, a vineyard near us. Anyway Chapel Down Bacchus from Kent  arrived instead, very nice, similar to a sauvignon. Intended as a treat on our abandoned trip thanks to Covid so being enjoyed at home.

I like the Chapel Down wines - especially "Bacchus with a hint of Sparkle". But even more so their Pinot Noir Gin. Perfect.

I must try some of the Chapel Down wines, Brue....

I would be interested to hear what folk think of Luminoso Leggero Prosecco LV.  I recently bought some as part of a Laithwaites order.  With the Laithwsites 'discount' it comes out at £7.99.  I'm sure it would be on the sweet side for many, but I quite liked it.  It was also only 8%.  I think I might order some of this again next time around.

My doctor asked me how much I was drinking, so I asked what I was allowed. He said If you drink less than your doctor you are OK. But he wouldn’t say what he drank.

So I told him about the day we sat down for lunch at L’Estagnol just outside the market hall in Narbonne. Usually we were a little bit late (it was 12.20) and the elderly couple at the next table were part way through their main course. They had finished their first bottle of red and were signalling the waiter for a second. 

Eight glasses of vino collapso per bottle, by that point and after many years of social imbibing our doctor had a heart attack (true story.) Just after he retired...🍷💼

You must drink from very small glasses. I get about four or five out of my bottles.

Yes, glasses have got bigger...that was the standard measurement when I helped out in a pub in my youth. But I still work on that measurement if needed. (I knew someone would tell me otherwise....) No wonder bar drinks cost such a lot!
