It’s Friday night and a quick well done to all first year MW students for getting through the exams today. Six sweeties in the tasting including a Recioto that confused us all and a 2003 Burgundy that did not taste like Burgundy (Volnay Les Taillepieds from Carre-Courbin in case you were wondering – and I wouldn’t bother if I were you!)
So it’s Edinburgh’s Taste Festival and I’ve just flown up on this beautiful evening to pour wines at the Real Rose and Blason de Bourgogne stand, so if you’re around come and see me!
I promise more hard news and opinion in my blogs from next week but as it’s Friday night, I think a bit of light-hearted entertainment is in order. It’s father’s day on June 21 and the Famous Grouse is launching a new microsite called The Famous Dad Dance.
Basically you upload your dad’s photo and it’s superimposed on to a choice of four bodies. You then decide if he does the Highland Fling or some other dance and send the e-card with a message. Guess what John Gibb is getting in 3 weeks’ time? He deserves it, his side-step is really something.
Thanks for all your comments on the blogs thus far – good to see you are getting involved.
