‘iPhone needs to cool down’. Vines too probably - Sémillon for our Crémant at Château Bauduc. #bdx25 #yearinthevineyard

Veraison in the vines, when the grapes change colour. A walk around Château Bauduc yesterday evening - this is Merlot, much of it destined for our Rosé. #veraison #merlot #yearinthevineyard #bdx25

Two incredible games and one of the all-time great semi-finals. Bravo #intfcb #ucl

Crucial and thoroughly enjoyable 3-1 home win for the Chels against Liverpool. Happily the deserved premier league champions Liverpool put out half a team of second tier players. Georgie Q, Naomi, Aleesa and I weren’t complaining. Cole Palmer getting his goal at the end a huge relief all round. #cfc

With Sophie Chelsea Quinney, daughter no 2, at Chelsea today. (She was born at the hospital up the road in case you thought… 😉)
Important 1-0 v Everton re Champions League slot.
Day return on the train from Worcs after we’d come by car via night ferry on Thursday from Caen to Portsmouth. Bonkers 🙄

Gosh. Pole position in the Easter Saturday Telegraph and Victoria Moore’s kind words: ‘the new vintage of Quinney’s Château Bauduc Sauvignon Blanc 2024 (£13.25 in cases of six, delivery free in England… bauduc.com), has just landed. Crisp, streamlined, mostly sauvignon, excellent. Definitely a buy.’

A lovely note from Victoria Moore, the Telegraph’s wine critic, for our Château Bauduc Sauvignon Blanc 2024. Even better with a headline pic in the Easter weekend edition. ‘Definitely a buy.’ Toot toot!

Good article too (‘gift’ version so hopefully no paywall):

I’ve had Musk on mute for years on TwitterX but someone drew my attention to this. Classic.

I agree. There’s quite a useful feed called ‘OnlyPosts’ but that covers everyone you follow.

Meanwhile, a big shoutout to Erin Robinson who was number 1 in the world 🌍 over Christmas out of 11 million #fpl ‘managers’. No flash in the pan either as she finished 15th Overall Rank last season. 👏

(Re the tweet & pics below she won’t be leaving Salah or Gabriel on the bench, just to be clear.)

A big decision over Christmas for many was who to bring in for the injured Saka.

It wouldn’t be career suicide at all. Me saying that I like this, for example?

Back home after a few days spending time with my mum at her care home in Worcs. The third Christmas now where we’ve delivered a bottle of wine for each of the amazing staff. A few more than I thought when I asked that first Christmas and rising each year. More than worth it tho, inc a whack to hmrc.
