Sparkling!
English wines are becoming very fashionable – winning all sorts of awards and accolades, mightily pissing off the French. Particularly good are the sparkling wines, which of course cannot legally be called champagne.
This wine is usually upwards of £30, which is more than we like to spend on swill, but Uncle B found it on deep sale at Waitrose today. We are too cheap for our tastes.
Ridgeview is the vineyard, Bloomsbury is the wine. And yes it’s Bloomsbury as in Bloomsbury Group, who used to hang out in this part of Sussex.
Earlier today, Uncle B had some sort of successful business thingie (I don’t know, I’m a girl teehee). So we’re going to sit outside and drink it.
