What you drinking now?

Stags Leap!!
High end Cali wine… seriously sought after and rare.
Well done for drinking a 1995!
Some nice Americans visited with it and other wines many years ago and I had been saving it. But having opened a few dodgy bottles this evening, I was sceptical about whether it had survived. Very pleased that it has!

It’s all about storage.
Longer than a year and you really need a proper cellar. Temperature fluctuations are a killer for wine.
A garage or a ‘wine cupboard under the stairs’ will not do.
For long term storage, it has to be temperature controlled.

The cellar in the house in London was pretty good at staying a steady temperature and humidity. Having sold that house, they’re all now in an unheated utility room! Better drink them sooner than later, in my view. There really aren’t many valuable bottles, just bits n bobs.
 
This was expensive and supposedly very good, the chef is Mark Hix, but my locally chippy does better fish and the vegetables were worse than a school dinner! Into Devon today so maybe things will improve!!
 
A night out in Glasgow and after a nice meal at the Atlantic I have found myself in WaxyOConnors. A bar with far too many unnecessary staircases (if you know, you know) full of people less than half my age all dressed up for Halloween :D

So I am sat at the bar with whiskey “on tap” - happy as a sandboy !
