Hmmm ...
On the way back from Strawberry Fair this afternoon, we dropped in to Bacchanalia on Victoria Avenue. What a nice little Wine Merchant - a proprietor who knows and is enthusiastic about his stock, and who knows his customers (we overheard one customer asking "Have I tried this before", to which the reply was "Well, not for a while").Oh, and very dangerous stock he has, too. I bought a delightful bottle of Alsatian Gewürztraminer - Clos Saint Imer, as in the picture to the right, except it was the Gewurtz, not the Riesling, and 14%, not 13%.
Utter heaven. Although at £17.99 it wasn't cheap, it was a real treat, and it's worth spending that sort of money occasionally just to give your normal purchases some context.

And you didn't pop in to say hello...

The bloke in there is very helpful and friendly - always up for a natter if he's not busy.
