Now, have you tried the Giant Grand Cru ’69?

I am on holiday in Wales right now, where I had hoped to get out and do lots of riding. But it has rained. And rained. And in between the downpours, there have been light showers. And some heavier showers. Truth be told, I could have been stuck in the middle of the Atlantic and I wouldn’t have seen so much water.
This has has forced me to sit indoors for long periods and contemplate my navel, and other local attractions. What better way to sit and contemplate than over a nice glass of wine? So that is what I have been doing.
And that brought me to think: what is it that attracts one to a certain wine? The bouquet? The cultivar? The vintner, or the country of origin? Or, quite simply: red or white?
I don’t claim to be any kind of connoisseur. I am no more cultivated than the next guy, but I do have my favourite wines. Let me share some of them with you …

As you can probably see, it is the labels that got my attention. I suppose I must be an adman’s dream customer. Now, if any of you readers finds a like-minded winemaker, do email me a bottle. I am always willing to give it a test ride.

    So where is the Pinot Noir from? Love that label.

    That is my favourite – it is from California, the Central Coast region, I think
