09:31:58 A running in-joke amongst the attendees about crisp pairings for these high end wines. | 11:30:57 On the way down to Deptford, I took a picture of the coolbag with all the wine in. | 12:49:41 On arrival at Andrew's house, I thought the lineup of stemware looked quite photo worthy. | 13:05:32 I thought it might be nice to get the attendees to model each bottle we were tasting. |
13:05:36 Decided to start with the Nyetimber 1086 this time so there would be no danger of our palates being overloaded. | 13:05:38 | 13:42:49 Next up was this Ridgeview Single Vineyard Blanc de Blancs 2014. | 13:42:58 |
14:06:41 Third was Hambledon's Premiere Cuvee. | 14:06:42 | 14:06:43 | 14:45:31 There's the complete set of bottles for the lineup. |
14:52:27 Not part of the original billing: Windsor Great Park. | 14:52:32 | 15:18:04 Also not part of the original billing: Hambledon's rose. | 16:02:24 I thought the smart wine thermometer (which I've become increasingly disappointed with) might work better as one of those ankle bracelets given to convicts. |
17:41:22 Another arrangement of bottles from today's tasting. There were 7 of us! | 18:15:25 After the tasting we walked from Andrew's house to Greenwich. Bit of a foggy day. | 18:15:32 | 18:25:44 The Prince of Greenwich, where we had dinner. |
18:25:48 | 19:43:57 Still slightly baffled by the fact there are direct trains from this end of town terminating at Kentish Town. |
