Recent Wines, December 2018 #theglouthatbindsus

Posted on 17/01/2019 by dccrossley

Quite a lot of wines were consumed at home in December, no surprises there, then. I’ve managed to cull it down to fifteen bottles by chopping out those I’ve written about fairly recently, and those that didn’t quite manage to … Continue reading →

Plateau of Excellence

Posted on 15/01/2019 by dccrossley

I was planning to write my review of December’s wines today, but last night six of us dined at Plateau in Brighton and it was such a good meal that I thought they deserved an unashamed plug. Plateau is in Brighton’s … Continue reading →

Enfariné? The Ancient Varieties (Arbois Visit, December 2018)

Posted on 02/01/2019 by dccrossley

This article was meant to come out before Christmas but a nasty virus put paid to that. Instead of wishing you all a Merry Christmas, or Winter Solstice (for those of a non-Christmassy persuasion), I shall instead wish everyone a … Continue reading →

Posted on 26/11/2018 by dccrossley

It seems a little early to be doing a review of the year at the end of November, but I suspect there will be plenty of other things I want to write about before the Christmas hangover has disappeared, so … Continue reading →

Recent Wines October/November 2018 #theglouthatbindsus

Posted on 20/11/2018 by dccrossley

Quite a diverse range from the past six weeks at home, although four of the ten wines here are from Jura, perhaps a poor attempt to clear a bit of space for the purchases which will be made in the … Continue reading →

Recent Wines (September 2018) #theglouthatbindsus

Posted on 22/10/2018 by dccrossley

September saw Southern England’s summer continue (as it has done up until this weekend, but though I type in glorious sunshine the wind has turned and the Nebbiolo season may be about to start). The wines here are therefore still … Continue reading →
