I've been trying to put this on stories for a day now with hearts and congratulations in little gifs that come and go. The message is the same; You did it! Despite the challenges of this summer that kept coming you did it with courage, gentleness and honour. The masters dissertation is in the bag my darling but more you've found this strong nuanced woman inside you that you always have been and always will be. So proud.❤️

Fresh white wine and oysters ferret basic pleasures of life

Bigger are better - wine ages slower and better in large bottles as there is less contact with oxygen ( in the top of the bottle) as there's more wine. Though there is a bigger Cork which has a honeycomb pockets full of tiny pockets of aur - apart frim the magnum which has the same size Cork as a 75cl bottle so is THE BEST size? Others say 6 litres - which is called what in Bordeaux??

Just a few barrels hanging out in St Julien. The red colour is traditionally the wine lees colour that sinks to the bottom as sediment. It hides any red wine stains.

season is here

It's great when great things are finally recognised as great what you've known all along it was so easy to overdose it. There was heat but the best winemakers picked not too late and made amazingly balanced rich wines that are beginning to open up but have a long life ahead ( prefer 2016s though generally with their fresnhness but still young).
