Creative flavour combinations of freshest, local ingredients, harmoniously presented, supported by impeccable service at #CasaVelha #quintadoLago, Portugal. Well above its one star #michelin status, imho. Thanks to the entire team for such a memorable evening!

The poise of maturity yet still gloriously fresh. Perfect with the Sunday roast chicken with lemon and thyme.

Thought I might have missed the boat with this vintage but so wrong: utterly thrilling, still tightly wound white Burgundy - crystalline acidity, citrus and oak complexity, exquisite balance and for at least 3 years still, imho. Chapeau a la domaine!

Another fan here, John!

@markdevere Extraordinary coincidence, Mark; opened a bottle of the Robert Mondavi 94 Carneros Chardonnay last night. Still bouncing with freshness and beautifully proportioned (the wine, that is; shouldn’t speak for myself😊) Here’s to Bob and all his team from those days!

Today is the 12-year anniversary of Robert Mondavi's passing. Toasting and appreciating. Cheers Bob!

Grab a strong cup of coffee - or maybe a stiff whisky - before reading this review of what we do - and more crucially don't -know about COVID-19 "As he began to remove the clot, he observed something he had never seen before, new clots forming around it" nymag.com/intelligencer/…

My last bottle of this lovely wine. Classic Margaux characters with sensuous depth, elegance and poise. Fine wine indeed. #lockdownwine ⁦@ChateauFerriere⁩ ⁦@BordeauxWines⁩

Some cheer for an isolated Easter: Climens 96 from the cellar depths. Uplifting kumquat, quince and bitter-sweet Seville orange, hints of almond. Deep velvet-plush texture, vibrant acidity in perfect counterpoint. #lockdownwine #seriouswineforaserioustime

Bottled pleasure of Chateau Montrose 1996 with Mother’s Day lunch today. Vibrant and still excitingly dense palate of cassis and cedar within balanced tannic frame. Velvety entry. Perfect now but still longevity at peak.

Exceptional wine selection on set lunch at London's Le Gavroche: Le Soula 2009 and Beyer P. Blanc (Roux) 2014.Chapeau
