I am sure no one else has even noticed; certainly no one is going to be inclined to blog about it. So I will. Spittoon has received a mention in the latest issue of Olive magazine. This is a foodie magazine under the banner of the BBC and has a reasonable wine content. Print only…

Congrats Andrew! Olive has become one of the magazines I buy every month. This particular edition hasn’t arrived yet at my local bookstore, but I will be sure to grab one when it does.
cheers,
Pim

Wine Tasting Tuscan Style

Opening with the ‘basic’ wines he was almost apologetic at their simplicity. Personally I found them a delight; no idea of price at the time (the top of the range comes in at a very reasonable €20 cellar door) but to a bottle these ‘lesser’ wines were lovely, offering a balanced richness, a true regional acidic streak in the RI.VA.LE Chianti and a touch riper, softer palate to the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
