@Annabuttercup Good shout. Could put moles marinière on the menu too so nothing goes to waste.

[Jon Campbell @definejon]

Not quite sure how, but one of the cats caught this poor fella earlier. Which got me wondering- why are moles never muddy? 🤔

Wonderful few days at #jacquesselosse with another memorable tasting with Anselme. Highest of highlights were the 2008, 2010 and Les Chantereines and Les Carelles 2021 tasted still in barrique. Mind blown.

@Annabuttercup Singing in the rain?

The true wonder of this wine has finally, fully dawned on me, cooking burgers shamelessly on a hibachi grill. Somewhere between Burgundy and Amarone. 10y reserve- complimenti to @cadeimaghiwine

Was in the Woolpack pub in Slad (Laurie Lee’s old local) the other day. I kid you not, spotted a couple, he with a cider, she with a rosé. Inspired me to work on a new cocktail, ‘the Laurie Lee’. First prototype, with ‘help’ from @Annabuttercup , rank.

Always wondered why shaving foam had a lid. 🙄

[Jon Campbell @definejon]

This should be fun…🤪

[Jon Campbell @definejon]

@GobbyChef Most kind. Thanks David!

Hoping somebody out there might be able to direct a quality human with great spirit, ability and enthusiasm for wine and life to become our Wine Manager. A heady mix of retail/restaurant/trade/agency (inc Jacques Selosse) awaits. Generous Finder’s fee if it works out! 🍾

@SteveDayWineman Still recovering from the last time I worked with him- 20yrs ago!

So Kylie Jenner has 37,500 followers for every one of mine. I was fine with that (quality not quantity) until I realised more of my daughters follow her than me. #fail

Forget HS2, just make the *!<#ing wifi on trains work! And improve the range of wines available by the glass. And ban people sat opposite me eating smelly chicken. And ask for proof of deodorant as well as vaccination. Rant over.

[Jon Campbell @definejon]

@The_OC1 Which is of course what we did.

[Jon Campbell @definejon]

Thoughts on how to handle a diner adding lemonade to a glass of Vega Sicilia? 🤯

[Jon Campbell @definejon]

Trying to force the chef to include Quail Caesar on the new menu. Not having it.

[Jon Campbell @definejon]

@dnkrbywine 😂Of course I considered that but too many letters- wouldn’t fit on the pack.
