#VinDePlume
Tomorrow night I’m pitching up at my lovely wine educator’s paulée with a jerry of Chateau Sainte-Eulalie ‘La Cantilène’ 2015 - aka ‘The Sensible Decision Eliminator.’

At 14.5%, this monolith isn’t so much a wine as a liquid referendum on dignity.

Kanonkop Kadette 2017 - an honest wine.

No gloss, no gimmicks, just Stellenbosch soil, sun and graft in a glass.

Plum, red cherry, cassis and a touch of smoke.

Where some wines wear makeup, this one wears calluses and reflects a hard day’s work in a glass or three.

Praying for some rays of sunshine on a London Monday which is a bit of a challenge in November!

Let the sunshine in with some Spanish blancos y uno rosado.🌞

In a v strong line-up, the white Tempranillo from Bodegas Riojanas really stole the VinDePlume tasters’ hearts.

Illustration by me also.😉
