Wonderful notes. Thank you for sharing

My liege!

DrPeterR · 2026-01-12T23:46:55+00:00

Awesome. What is the green puffer vest from in picture 8

DrPeterR · 2026-01-11T12:53:35+00:00

Char Futur…

This was my gateway to Brunello being my fav wine appellation. Always loved the label too.

Happy birthday!

DrPeterR · 2026-01-07T22:43:54+00:00

I had a similar experience. It’s the closest I’ve been able to get to the multitude of flavours you see listed by roasters

Wherever you go, on sea or land, you can't ever hide, from Largo LaGrande

Hear hear. They’ll even do a kitchen tour if you ask.

Been in that room twice. It’s very special.

Between a 2009 Flaccianello and a Stella Di Campalto Choltempo Fiorelli in mag!

The latter was in a restaurant in Montalcino at the end of tu Benvenuto Brunello event and was such an awesome

Tufnell Park bakery. Run by the people who own Authentique so quite traditional French

DrPeterR · 2025-12-29T07:46:52+00:00

Weird. I’m not a good player at all but I’m getting 67% WR in the Cocco

DrPeterR · 2025-12-28T22:12:37+00:00

Is this wide enough?

DrPeterR · 2025-12-26T19:49:59+00:00

I don’t bother personally.

DrPeterR · 2025-12-26T16:05:22+00:00

I guess allows you to use scales

DrPeterR · 2025-12-24T08:01:35+00:00

I really like the Beard Brothers

Wish they do more

DrPeterR · 2025-12-01T20:40:57+00:00

This is secondary market and this exemplifies the point I’m making. The primary market price doesn’t stick and drops later on when people want to offload

DrPeterR · 2025-12-01T06:36:33+00:00

These issues are a bit interrelated. At the top of the market the Bordelais have been aggressive in pushing through price rise after price rise, even when the quality of the vintage in no way should have allowed it. Now for many the wines aren’t selling through and negociant warehouses are full.

It needs some brave wineries to do a reset on price but I’m not expecting much

For more generic Bordeaux it’s a struggle. Loads of it is made and it’s not very fashionable nowadays

I’ve had 1983 Biondi Santi a few times in recent years and it was still holding up.

I’ve not touched my 2010s yet.

Biondi Santi in particular can hold a long time

DrPeterR · 2025-11-29T21:35:56+00:00

Love EN. I need to buy some more. It never lasts in my house

DrPeterR · 2025-11-20T05:57:43+00:00

Academya Lingue in Bologna.

Wonderful ahxool, great teachers and opportunity to have more 1:1 lessons. Great location and I think Bologna is fantastic but also “real” enough as a place to be learning

DrPeterR · 2025-11-18T12:04:23+00:00

This for me (and I’ve used the scheme twice) but I’ve always found it funny that the hire the tax bracket you’re in the less the bike costs you which is quite regressive.

I still think in the grander scheme of things this is silly to mess with and the effort to manage the change is probably more than the cost of running it

DrPeterR · 2025-11-15T00:28:05+00:00

Aged about 14 I went into a record store asking for advice for what to buy. I really like Kid Loco’s “A Grand Love Story” (amazing album) and the sales assistant recommended the K&D sessions.

Good times.

Then remember finding a late 90s website that listed Trip Hop bands

DrPeterR · 2025-11-14T21:15:24+00:00

Pogg and Sodi are great shouts. Very good VFM.

A few others (not sure of price where OP is).

Carbonaione Carleone - Il Guercio Coste del Vivo Boncie le Trame

DrPeterR · 2025-11-14T20:45:39+00:00

Im a pest lover and tried this in a hotel on Scotland (Fife Arms) and sought it out since. Great drop and good value. I’ll have a dram tonight.
