@jamiegoode @mattwallswine There is even an expression, souri du mise, to describe the phenomenon of early mouse. I have heard if it is not mousy in tank, it will most likely clear up in bottle

@mattwallswine If you already have some then hold onto it and retry in 6 mo/yr - some mousiness does seem to come and go but I think bad mouse can stay. No one knows for sure

Any experts on mousiness out there…? One of my favourite wines, usually reliable - drank last night and was mousy 😩 Usually it can age for decades… worth keeping? Or beyond saving?

@jamiegoode @artisanswiss Bairstow even said to Travis Head the week before he would have taken the stumps off when Head was out of his crease at Edgbaston at the end of the over. "Bloody oath I would" was the response twitter.com/MichaelVaughan…

@legrappin @artisanswiss That was somewhat different - not altogether different, but different enough for it to be false equivalence

@jamiegoode @artisanswiss Bairstow shouldn't have been out of his crease, Carey threw it in one motion, at no point was the ball dead. Michael Vaughan and Eoin Morgan agree it was a fair dismissal.

@jamiegoode @artisanswiss Nor was Bairstow in 2014 twitter.com/Cameron5069159… "All within the rules of the game" - Bairstow 2014

@legrappin @artisanswiss No Broad wasn’t. I don’t condone Broad’s behaviour either.

@jamiegoode @artisanswiss was broadplaying in the spirit of the game when he didn't walk in 2013. “Those things aren’t remembered,” Broad said at the time. “It’s winning a series that will be remembered. We do have a win-at-all-costs mentality."

@artisanswiss To comment intelligently on this you have to have played cricket. The rules leave some very grey areas

@jamiegoode @devicesadesires the laws are the laws. the mcc did write them after all.. cricket is the only game where a so called spirit of the game has a higher plane over the written laws. feels a bit like when gentleman had a mister on the scorecard while the plebs were sniffed at as professionals.

@devicesadesires But there was no sharp practice on behalf of England for that ‘catch’

Quite something to see on television the MCC members booing the Australian team as they return through the long room to their dressing room at the luncheon interval…Bairstow WAS out but slightly sharp practice…and was a legitimate Oz catch ruled out yesterday ?

@alicefeiring @NEWSMAX Indeed, lazy 20 year-old take

@donalde @SouthLondonGirl Dude! What you flying from Stanstead, Gatwick must closer no?

@SouthLondonGirl It could be worse. You could have missed a 5.50am flight to Oslo on your birthday and instead spent the morning getting a train back from Stanstead.

I’m not having the most smashing work day ever, tbh.

@cox_home @JancisRobinson Sorry to hear that. Good thing the world is united in doing all we can to combat climate change then 🙄 /s Again, condolences and bon courage

Climate change put a river though the middle of our winery.

Lovely note, Tim. Haven't had one ourselves in a while, might have to try one soon with lamb. Cheers!

@CrowMo99 I'd argue their use makes communication less clear, plus it's lazy and pretty easy to avoid.

@legrappin Are you going to police the entire French vocabulary too? Enough problems with communication in wine to be looking for issues

Unacceptable. Get a thesaurus.

@timmilford Cheers Tim. Those toasties look tops

Today I have been mostly cooking this beautiful roast leg of lamb served with a 2019 @legrappin Savigny-lès-Beaune which is just so pure and delicious. *Gregg Wallace voice* “Sundays don’t get much better than this*…

@plemess sorry phoebs! thinking of you

Day five of Covid: my appetite went last week, now my sense of smell. What a joyless existence

It may be pretentious, but living in an oak barrel is the only way to ensure that everything you taste has a smooth, velvety finish. bit.ly/3zo0tCv

many of my deepest friendships are maintained by a “omgggg” story reply every few months

@mmm14mmm Thanks Martin!

@legrappin enjoying this Andrew
