Blow off the cobwebs


Wow iv neglected this page for the past month or so, im disgusted in myself and for those few readers i have i do apologise i will surely make up for it over the coming weeks.

Now back to business, today i have had a very busy day with the deliveries, however the most exciting of all has got to be the first of my purchases from my wine club. As you can see above i received 12 bottles of wine today bought through the club i join a couple of months ago. Why so long? well because of difficulties with the delivery, i had to wait until their van guy was back from his hols. Anyway they are here now and no your eyes are not deceiving you, i bought a mixed case whites as well. Those of you that are familiar with this blog will be aware that im not much of a white wine drinker, therefore im making the effort to broaden my taste.

So here they are, a taster of what your in for;

Macon-Fargas, domaine Paul et Mallory Talmard 2006
Wither Hills Savvignon Blanc, 2007
Stormy Cape Chenin Blanc, 2007
Dona-Paulina Casablanca Chardonnay, 2007
Orvieto Classico Secco, 2006
Cheverny, Domaine du Salvard, 2007
Cotes-Rhone, Generation, Domaine Jaume, 2006
Dona Paulina Merlot, 2007
La Table du Ror Jaboulet Aine
Minervois, Chateau Sainte Eulalie, 2006
Chateau de la Grave, 2004
Faldeos Nevados Malbec, 2007

So it looks like i have some drinking to do, well iv placed a bottle of the
Stormy Cape Chenin Blanc, 2007 in the fridge and i will have a tipple later in the mild summer sun.

Any ideas on what i should try next please leave a comment, or if you have had any of these before let me know.
