♻️ Recycling cans and plastic bottles Crete style. No tax, no wretched machines

Liatiko. My new favourite grape variety of Crete. Light, elegant, almost PN like. They tell me they serve slightly chilled when it gets warm; not sure when that will be, it was 26°C last evening. @blinders FORIE Pat Macken

Last of the summer sunshine for a few days this afternoon but certainly not the last of the summer wine.
Rotling is not usually found in the UK but I wish it was for it has such richness of character compared to the Rosé that we get

Ch Blagnac 16. Petit chateau, good year. Lovely with bank holiday roast chicken MonthlyBlinders Wine Pat Macken FORIE

Very enjoyable, thanks Pat Macken for organising and well done David and Liam MonthlyBlinders Wine identifying all the 🍇 blind

Thanks to the klaxon Erik Burgess 🇳🇿🍷🥂 we had this huge price reduced Riesling from M&S with dinner this evening, a grand sip but for anyone who has sampled a Deidesheim Riesling there is no comparison. I know that might upset some but the soothing complexity of the Pfalz is missing

When I saw this on the tasting bar Whelehans Wines I thought, as a Ripasso, it might be a bit rich/jammy for me but no, it's well balanced with fresh acidity. Great food wine (steak Diane) MonthlyBlinders Wine Pat Macken FORIE

Excellent tasting of 'Hidden Spain' last night at Blackrock Cellar Particularly enjoyed the Pepe Mendoza, A Palacios Dophi and Inigo Rioja Blanco Reserva 2012. Aged white Rioja is a bit Marmite but I love it. Enjoy tonight FORIE MonthlyBlinders Wine Pat Macken

Good wines great memories. Thanks Liam.

Nice drop to finish Easter weekend and remembering MonthlyBlinders Wine visit to Sienna #Tuscany
