Shout out to Erik Burgess 🇳🇿🍷🥂 for flagging this up the other week.

Ignore the £7 shelf price - this is £4:50 per bottle or £4:05 when you buy six (spoiler: I bought six and am heading back again)

Company wine tasting - all wines got at least one “favourite vote” - except the sherries. What is wrong with people?

Lovely, classic Haut Medoc Bordeaux from Chateau Saint Ahon.

Beautifully made with fine, firm tannins - plenty of cellaring potential.

Every day, we make every effort to bolster Ukraine's air defense. I am grateful to Germany for its leadership and for the new Patriot system, which, in the hands of Ukrainians, will demonstrate that Russian terror can be defeated. I am grateful to every country that is genuinely…

Over the last week, Russian terrorists used nearly 130 'Shahed' drones against Ukraine; fortunately, we were able to intercept the vast majority of them. More than 80 Russian missiles and nearly 700 guided aerial bombs were also used.

Rhetoric does not protect skies. Thoughts…

Celebrating the Buddha’s birthday in Tokyo (and #1 child’s) with some sparkling sake.

A first for me - anyone else?

Floral and autolytic with sweet-creamy almond.

The day I casually walked past Bono in Tokyo while looking at the cherry blossom (hard to tell from the pic, but he's the guy in the middle of the group in the green, backwards hat).

Recreating some Spanish holiday vibes for the family with wines from stock; anyone for sangria and pale cream sherry?
