Lovely dinner with friends last night.

Delightful Daisy Sichel explaining the lack of weeding at Chateau Angludet. Bio diversity is definitely the new buzz word in Bordeaux.

This dude was from Corrèze and founded one of the most important wine dynasties in the world. His brother initially went to Paris to sell milk, then returned to Libourne to become a farmer.

Currently 38 degrees in Languedoc. Fancy living in this beautiful house? You can now rent it all year round. DM for details.

Amazing food at a new find, ‘Aux 2 Rivieres’ in ‘One of the most beautiful villages of France’, Minerve. This trout was wonderful with Clos du Gravillas, L’Inattendu….a rich mineral style blend of Grenache Blanc and Maccabeu.

Back from Bordeaux and off to Fakenham Racecourse on a lovely sunny day.

Well done Emma Banks for Brandisova. Great ride from Bryony Frost.

Great to see Scotland back up their wine against England with a top performance against Wales yesterday. Enlivened by Andrew Cotter commentary. ‘They’re friends again…’ was priceless.

Staying in a friend’s house in Bordeaux. They understand basic fridge requirements.

Just seen awful pics of hail in Meursault tonight. Oppressively hot/humid in Bordeaux at the moment. I am sure that there are more than a few vignerons fingers crossed.

Been driving a Tesla for the last three days running a wine tour in Bordeaux. What an awesome car. Great acceleration, smooth ride. I am converted!!

Big day for Smith Haut Lafitte today. Wonderful for Florence, Daniel, Alice and Mathilde. Le Roi va arriver!!

Lunch in Sauternes to finish my last big wine tour for the year. Entrecôte and Pauillac. Pas mal.
