videoThis Might Be the Chardonnay Deal of the Year
Sandhi Chardonnay Patterson Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills 2023 Link to Purchase Wine: https://www.winex.com/sandhi-chardonnay-patterson-vineyard-sta-rita-hills-2023.html Link to Glasses: https://www.winex.com/fontaine-premier-universal-wine-glass.html Sandhi has built its reputation on some of the most precise, compelling Chardonnay coming out of California, and the 2023 Paterson Vineyard Chardonnay might also be one of the best values we’ve encountered from them. Paterson is a special Santa Rita Hills site tucked above the legendary Sanford & Benedict Vineyard, with a cool north/northeast exposure that produces beautifully energetic Chardonnay. Sashi Moorman and Rajat Parr take that fruit in an equally restrained direction, aging it for ten months in older 500-liter French oak puncheons before another six months in stainless steel. The result is almost Chablis-like in spirit: nervy and transparent, with green apple, candied lemon peel, gorgeous aromatics and remarkable precision r

If you have been wandering down the spirits aisle for the last few years you have watched a masterclass in corporate gaslighting. The bottle is instantly familiar.

Roy Rogers Drink
The Roy Rogers drink is a refreshing classic mocktail. If you have ever loved a Shirley Temple, you will love this recipe. Similar to the Shirley Temple it’s simply a lot more fun to order a drink named after a famous actor than a basic cola with grenadine. Roy Rogers, known as King of the Cowboys,…

Old Age
I seem to be caught in a plethora of medical appointments at the moment. Apart from the ongoing saga of my stomach and the recent dental work which requires follow-up, I had made an appointment with my usual dentist for an annual check-up in July. However, I have been experiencing palpitations during the night, so an ECG was called for and now a follow-up with the GP to discuss what they have found. I also have an upcoming appointment with my consultant gastroenterologist in a couple of weeks. It seems my diary is full of appointments. Getting old sucks. I've not been firing on all cylinders and have suspended my gym membership for the month of July to have a bit of a restful few weeks. I hope to be back to my normal self by August. I had to laugh the other day. I was doing a shift on the till at the foodbank charity shop and was chatting to the Assistant Manageress. She told me her cat is 16 and has dementia. She said it wanders round in the night miaowing, presumably beca
