A luscious dessert wine made from botrytised grapes.

Australia's De Bortoli via Morrisons - match it with roasted peaches, brown sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon. With some Chantilly cream.

Went to a Musar tasting.

Lebanese wine: mix of Bordeaux and Mediterranean grapes from the Beka’a Valley.

Vertical with 15-odd wines from mid ‘80s to recent vintages.

I remain convinced that Musar tastes old when it’s young and you when it’s old. The 80s vintages were some of the best.

At a work do, a colleague was asking everyone in a getting-to-know way if we like to cook.

Come my turn, I went with: yeah, I like to assemble stuff and have it with sherry.

Her response: well, that’s not really cooking, is it?

Anyways:

Today’s goofery at the bathroom shop with Mrs L.

She said: Thomas Crapper? That’s you.

Which was quite funny, actually.
