Tomorrow on blue Monday we’re gonna eat at Les Grands Buffets de Narbonne.

Super sandwich shop with vin nature just a few steps off Gare de Lyon. Ideal for stopovers.

Gonet 2015 to go with the fruits de mer. Usually I don’t drink a lot of Blanc de Blancs but this one’s lovely.

Ok

So it begins

Some fastfood to go with the Ekam wine.

Riesling/Albariño blend from the Costers del Segre in Spain. Love it.

Lunch in Troyes

People... if you walk into a bar in Sevilla and just order "a sherry" it's like saying you'd like "some food". Usually the barman will give you a cream (lightly sweet) sherry because they think that's what foreigners like. This might help... shawnhennessey.substack.com/p/sherry-and...

Small lunch at Mimolet Girona today, rice with ‘lobster’ which was actually langoustine and black garlic mayonnaise. Coulisant filled with peanut butter cream. Decent wine list but alas I had to drive. We Will Be Back.

I know someone who went in as a visitor a few months ago who was asked if they voted for Brexit and if they are a Christian. Currently thinking I have made my last trip to America.

Aerate this African wine to get rid of the poo smell and it becomes lovely, with a nose of iron and dried fruits.

Bethmale from the Pyrenees, truffle Camembert and herb cheese from Spain.

Didn’t have high expectations of this bubbly wine from the South of France but it’s uncomplicated yet pleasant.

Lekker

Restaurants whine about no-shows, but some of them are to blame for doing the same thing. Last week I went to a restaurant with friends that were in the area for just a few days, I had reserved, reservation in writing, we arrive: restaurant closed.

This was quite a treat

My favorite houses in the Roussillon ATM: Roc des Anges, Danjou Frères, Singla.

This 100% Mourvèdre from the Rivesaltes region was lovely. I love everything Singla makes.

L’âme bleu - Onada de Llevant. Wine mixed with poo. I’m so done with ‘natural wine’.

Broke my 3rd Gabriel glass.

I thought I would try something out to prove if #Twitter is indeed a right wing soap box. As many will know I shut down my account a year ago. Two weeks ago I open an account to have zero followers just to see the threads Twitter feeds me.
