[Leica] IMG: Wine

[Ted Grant]

My goodness I do love a fine glass of wine with my meals, well OK lunch,
supper and a late evening snack! :-)
Or while in the warmer weather enjoying a comfy afternoon sitting upon the
back deck enjoying a fine sunshine! :-)
My very good luck is, I have a magnificent "wine merchant" at the end of my
street who is a "MASTER of WINE SELECTIONS" for brewing in his shop. :-)

I ask what is good? He says the kind and I buy 30 or 60 bottles and when
they're ready to bottle after brewing in huge oak barrels for some months.
I return, we bottle. :-)
Then one of his staff drives me home with my batch! It doesn't get any
better than that! :-) I place them in the wine cellar and on wine racks in
the family room! :-) Gives the room a nice comfy feeling. :-) 

The wine selections are the best from various wine countries about the
world. Much more economical than buying a bottle or two from your local
government controlled wine shop and all their bloody taxes!
cheers,
ted

Great wine and looks like an interesting bunch!

Lowly Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2009 for me tonight.
