@mdhardcastle @worldranking_ Got enough of that!!

@EaterWriter @worldranking_ I doubt it somehow, probably a case of wine 😂

@mdhardcastle @worldranking_ Is it bitcoin????

@EaterWriter @worldranking_ That's why I tagged you. I don't know what you win, but can I share the prize with you? 😂

@mdhardcastle @worldranking_ Already done it what do I win?

@worldranking_ @EaterWriter

@Chablislodge We had some of that same 92! Fabien must have got a load of the stuff!!

I’ve had worse Saturdays I believe……. The ‘92 Raveneau bottle is big and fat because of some issue over sugar and bottle fermentation. Francois was worried the bottles would burst. All gibberish to me but the wine was rather special. As was the ‘21 Dauvissat.

@Chablislodge @DavidMarra It’s a very non typical Chablis that’s for sure

@Chablislodge No they had a cheap range they needed to shift. Suspect it ended up at the cellar door which is there those came from

@EaterWriter Ive checked with servin. They have a cheap screw cap Aligote, Tom. Probably far better suited to your ‘discerning’ palate. 💪

@Chablislodge I think they are a sub brand?

@Chablislodge @NickAnt12345 @GarrethAspinall You liked it, I dropped it

@NickAnt12345 @EaterWriter @GarrethAspinall I’ve nothing to hide. @EaterWriter is an honoured guest. If he brings a bottle of wine for me to taste of course I’m going to pretended to like it. Before It accidentally smashes on the cellar floor…….

@Chablislodge @GarrethAspinall @NickAnt12345 Don’t make me post the video 😂😂😂

@GarrethAspinall @NickAnt12345 @EaterWriter I base my opinions on my experiences and nothing else. I’ve been to Spain. I’ve drunk screw cap Aussie Chardonnay and NZ cat piss. I’ve eaten a kebab and a pizza. Flown (Ryanair) from Stansted. I’ve even drunk neat aligoté (once). I learn by my mistakes.

@Chablislodge 😂😂😂

@EaterWriter I’m hard pushed to think of a worse way of spending a morning.

I only attended this tasting so I could post about it on Twitter and get a reaction from @Chablislodge whose wife is currently in kiwiland enjoying the screwcap good stuff

@Chablislodge @GerryAl98305667 No bottle of wine is worth a years supply of bistro

@GerryAl98305667 @EaterWriter Correct

To anyone who might be wondering why I would swap a bottle of 1er cru Dauvissat with @EaterWriter for a year’s supply of bistro well here you go…… Cook peas in small quantity of water for 30 seconds. Add bistro. Pour over pie. Top draw cheffing.

@Chablislodge Haha because you could actually cook!

@EaterWriter I have forgotten. I try and obliterate it from my memory. Because I was always just a chancer who wasn’t afraid of a bit of graft. I was never a chef really. Don’t know how I got away with it for so many years

@Chablislodge @NickAnt12345 You have to get some shitty reviews before you can do a good response seems like you’re working on it!! 💪💪

@NickAnt12345 @EaterWriter They need telling don’t they @EaterWriter

Today’s chef tip….. If the wife decides to leave you for a month or two to spend time with her ex partner the other side of the world….. SHUT THE FUCKING GÎTES. Christ alive. Why did god invent hair? And customers? And fucking duvets. 😡

@Chablislodge Great wine shame about the snakes

Just had a message from the wife….. ‘I’m flying over Australia!’ ‘I don’t fucking blame you. I would too…..’

@NickAnt12345 @Chablislodge I know this producer really well! We lis his reds which are superb wines and great value! We all know how John really feels about aligote these days!!!

@Chablislodge @ChezBruce @NickAnt12345 Pommier top producer. First had their wines btg at winenot!

@ChezBruce @NickAnt12345 Great family producers. Poinchy. Well worth searching out. Don’t know if they ship to the UK or not. @EaterWriter might know. He knows everything. Oh no. Hang on. He THINKS he knows everything…….

Pride in you product and the land which creates it. Chablis 1er cru Troesmes. ❤️

@Chablislodge I think the entire meal is too generous!!

Restaurant l’idée folle, Collan, Chablis Customer service……… ‘It was really lovely Rosine. The only thing I would say is for a set lunch at that price point I think your main course is too generous’ Ring any bells @EaterWriter ? ‘Well you fucking ate it all.’ 😳
