A busy week...  Add/Read Comments

It has been a busy week - with more to come. Yesterday I attended my first Circle of Wine Writers tasting. Olivier Zind-Humbrecht took those gathered in London's Kettners restaurant through different vintages and styles of his wines (full write up to follow but the wines were - ZIND 2002; Riesling Rangen 2003, 1999, 1994; Pinot Gris Clos Windsbuhl 2003, 2000, 1996; Gewurztraminer Goldert 2003, 2001, 2002 VT; Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal SGN 2001, SGN 1995).

In total contrast I am half way through a mixed case of wines from Bulgaria supplied by the delightful Susan of Churchill Wines; again notes to follow. I still have tons of wine notes to write-up from the London Wine Fair... which was weeks ago... and this Saturday it is the Ultimate Wines Dessert Wine tasting in Marlow; so more notes to come from there too.

That just leaves enough time to compile a 'Grapes of France' article (main grapes 300 words on each), there is the Scribblings newsletter to do... (and the website to sort out)... plus another clients website to update... an image map of the French wine regions to design... a local veg box scheme to sign up to from Local Tastes... bread making to practice for the food/wine bloggers offliner Henley picnic... sell my car... attend another clients meeting with a wine supplier to update their restaurants wine list... and try and get the crappy old video to record the last episode of Dr. Who. And I told my mum on the phone a few minutes ago that 'things are a bit dull and quiet'. I also need a new bag for the vacuum cleaner. Whew.
