Catching up #2 – Transport & some bottles…
It had to happen; after 19 years and 603k kilometres – bye-bye Scooby 2. But all hail Scooby 3! Scooby 2 was as strong as an ox – drivetrain – but 19x European salt-infused winters had left its corrosive mark on the underbelly of the car. Couple that… Read More
66x 2019 Petit Chablis
Tasted blind, at the BIVB office in Chablis, 25 January 2021. As always, I find these blind tastings a great source of new names, the aim being to find producers of great wines that I haven’t previously visited – Chablis has been quite a dynamic place in the… Read More

52x 2017 Petit Chablis
Tasted blind, at the BIVB office in Chablis, 08 January 2019. I didn’t do this tasting for the 2016 vintage because most of Petit Chablis had been badly frosted. That said, so was a lot of 2017 too! I have anyway renewed my acquaintance with this AOP… Read More
