Midweek Analysis

When I was a young boy I thought we'd have flying cars and robot butlers by 2026, instead we have...

Blast from the past

A blast from the past, a collaboration beer by Verdant and Garage made for their Little Summer Beer Bash 2025 which my Son and I attended in Falmouth, Cornwall. We spent a glorious weekend down there just chilling out, eating great seafood, attending the festival and playing snooker it was lush! This beer, nearly a year on, tastes exactly the same, dank, citrus and so easy to drink a real Summer pleaser. It's a shame there's no festival in Cornwall this year, the organisers have decided to locate it in Bristol instead, ah well, we're quite partial to a bit of Briz too!

Monday Mirth

I always like a pub that's got a decent food menu..

Rock Gods?

 

The recent Artemis 2 rocket that passed around the dark side of the Moon took 42 minutes and 50 seconds to transition, during this time communication with Earth was cut (i.e. the Moon was in the way!) This fact is scary enough but not as spooky as the fact that the running time of the Pink Floyd album "Dark Side of the Moon" is exactly 42 minutes and 50 seconds. Gilmour = God? you heard it here first!

Leanings?

You pays your money and takes your choice, I know which side I lean towards..

Friday Smirk

I guess that's a fail then...

 

Lafite of the Languedoc

We had a bottle of this the other weekend, it's a wine from the South of France (Languedoc) called "Mas de Daumas Gassac" It's made from Cabernet Sauvignon (80% - a grape not usually used much in the far South) along with a mix of more indigenous varietals such as Grenache and Cinsault. I've been a big fan of this wine for many years, the concentration and depth of flavour is invariably superb and the tasting cues just a little left of centre giving it lasting appeal. It's often referred to as "the Lafite of the Languedoc" a nickname thoroughly well deserved IMO, good value for money, especially when compared to the real Lafite from Bordeaux!
