I was briefly back in Bath, England, for a friend's wedding. We drank cider. Fairly dry, largely flat and with a satisfying scent of decaying apples. Good West Country stuff. — 7 years ago

@Delectable Wine this is the 2012 Cape Winemakers Guild (Teddy Hall) Maria Van Swaanswijk Auction Reserve Chardonnay.


First wine for our annual DMV South Africa tasting. Medium to medium plus golden yellow. Lovely and layered nose with a chalky attack followed up by lemon zest, gravel, brioche and tropical fruit notes too. Vibrant acidity (6.5/10) and medium plus body. So smooth and rich on the attack with tropical and citrus notes with a bit of oak and creaminess as well on the palate. Long and lingering finish with minerality underneath. Needed a little bit of time in the glass to fully open up. Drink till 2022.

This is Teddy Hall's auction bottling at the Cape Winemakers Guild Auction for 2013. Made up of Chardonnay from Stellenbosch and Somerset West then aged in 100% French oak. — 8 years ago

Having grown up in the West Country of England, I got to know what an unpasteurised bone dry apple cider tastes like. Turns out this 2-day on skins, natural white wine from Sete, tastes like a Somerset special. — 7 years ago

This Barrel Reserve Chambourcin was left to open for two hours and showed excellent after that. Medium tannins, slight taste of the American oak, dark berries on the nose and mid palate, and a smooth finish. I know there may be skeptics on KS wines but his is worth trying. — 8 years ago

Abbey Ales are a stalwart of Bath's brewing scene. This modern tasting Amber ale is refreshing but with a delicious floral hoppy finish. Very good, especially in a country pub. — 7 years ago

Enjoyed it during a tasting at their winery. Tastes like a Viognier meets Roussanne. Funky wine the acidheads will enjoy. Pair with goat cheddar from Somerset! — 8 years ago

Yes a rich and enjoyable wine. It's bouquet is good but not as rich as some cabernets or merlots. It is a pleasure to savor and a wonderful flavor that lady for the palette. — 9 years ago
