Dropped the new @Delheim Staying Alive Riesling into a blind tasting last night, alongside the fascinating rendition by @winemakerJ (a range of wines thoroughly worth exploring).

Visited @JonoLeFeuvre monthly wine tasting last night. Great fun and highly recommended if you live in CT. We had 12 (I think...) super interesting wines, but I only managed to take a pic of the 1st flight cause, you know, some evenings aren't for taking pictures 😂

LIQUID MEMORY. Van Wyk Family Wines Rebecca May 2018. She is spellbindingly beautiful yet she doesn’t know it, she isn’t arrogant or brash but softly spoken, an intelligent and highly enjoyable wine to contemplate and keep you in good company. wellredwinemag.com/liquid-me…

Great lunch and tasting @ConstantiaGlen. The wine and food on offer compliment each other perfectly. Classic in style, gorgeously fulfilling and full of flavour in the most elegant fashion. Thank you @winemakerJ for having me! Also wonderful to see the new restaurant so busy
