Nice. I recently bought a bottle of Tesco's St. Emilion to take to a friend's house. It was kind of expensive for a Tesco one -- £8 -- but it went down really well. Had a great nose. Nothing like "sweaty socks" though; I guess that's the difference between Grand Cru and Tesco. Tesco sells socks; Bordeaux bottles them. Just came across your blog. Nice.

Your math is correct, and my lack of proper editing ruined the gag at the end. But I will never edit something once it goes up, except for that offensive statement I made against my Danish neighbor. That was wrong. Hi Dave, welcome aboard. Your life has just become better. Arthrian legend — glad to see you at the tasting.

Not sure how the 2004 Chateau Balestard La Tonnelle can be 70 percent Merlot, 25 Cabernet Franc, 25 Cabernet Sauvignon...surely that makes 120%? But as I know nothing about wine, I'm sure that you'll be able to explain all at the tasting event tonight... “a slight essence of sweaty socks”…Hmmm, well, you have chosen the same blogger template as me, so I’ll trust your sound judgment on that if you give it a 9.
