Every day’s a learning day 🤩 Italian sparkling wine meets French seafood (or should that be ‘claire/pond-food’?) 🤔😝

Today is 'Ginger Cat Appreciation Day' 😻 So here are some of my fav pics of Ziggy, our very own who loves 'helping' me with event setup and order packing (it's all about the boxes!!) 😜

What's my best memory of Ziggy at a tasting event? 🤔 🍷 It has to be the time he strolled down the stairs at just the right moment, as I was about to teach our guests all about skin-contact, aka ORANGE, wine! 🤣

If that's got your thinking about tasty orange wine, explore some here:

Bacchus is enjoying the UK heatwave (hopefully the vines are too) but today it’s cooler, so perfect to be inside at a winery for a tasting … sparkling and still, including a skin-contact Solaris (the disease-resistant “PiWi” cross, that I first tried in the Dolomites at Pojer e Sandri of Trentino)! 🤔🍇🤓
