  1. @newbordeaux Is Bernard flying the helicopter?
  2. Day 4 of South Africa. Yesterday's Chardonnays were often world class. Red blends this morning. #wine
  3. @mikeratcliffe I might do that in my TWA reports once I've finished tasting.
  4. @TerrOriginels Love Beaujolais but as bit swamped with samples at the moment!
  5. @Tindalwines Yes. They will be my next SA report. Nice wines.
  6. A long run of Pinotage this p.m. Quality much higher than a decade ago. Just need to convince sceptical consumers now. #wine
  7. @RevelCellars Number 218.
  8. Tasting South African Sauvignons (up and down) and Merlot (down and up). #wine
  9. Tasting of 120+ South African whites 2day. Generally, v impressive, sometimes exceptional. #wine
  10. @winewomansong @winekat @GusM_LW Hard but fair!
  11. @INDPENDENT_JEDY Only the wines worth words. But that still means I've typed approx 108,000 words (and counting) this month.
  12. Nice 2 c @JancisRobinson at mutual friend's dinner last night. Conseillante '52 + Ducru '66 (BBR Remix) dishevelled but delightful.
  13. @winewomansong I think it was around October 2003. Alas Denis has done better than Joyzipper since then.
  14. @bordeauxindex @winewomansong Funny it mentions "Joyzipper". That was Denis following one of my 1st albums of the month on early W-J.
  15. @bengladstone I wish. Got some final Riojas + Madeiras to taste for 4thcoming TWA rpts. Working 'til Pimms o'clock.
  16. 1st day in 5 weeks that I don't have 100+ wines to taste. Palate is relieved, tho it doesn't know there are 600 S. African wines next week.
  17. @butleriv Agree. It was a really well written piece by @davidddenton on #RobertParker. Well done David.
  18. @mjhucknall Time machine. I use it to see how wines will be in the future. That's how I know Petrus 2019 is 100-points.
  19. Finished my 4-day tasting of Argentinean wines 2day with a Malbec called: "Climax".
  20. The joy of old Ch. Fortia on Wine-Journal eRP @ bit.ly/Kd9GAa. #wine
