Recent Wines June 2024 (Part 3) #theglouthatbindsus

The bumper June edition of my Recent Wines of 2024 runs to a third part this year. The final half-dozen wines here start with a Bugey (yawn, but you’ll thank me one day). Then we stay off-piste with Lagrein Rosé, … Continue reading

Wines of the Year 2023 #theglouthatbindsus

Wines of the Year! It could be so self-indulgent, could it not? A dozen posh bottles which no one can afford and will probably never drink. I do have some of that stuff left in my cellar, a kind of … Continue reading

Recent Wines February 2022 (Part 2) #theglouthatbindsus
