Coffee review - Ethiopian Sidamo
Monday, February 26th, 2007Lent - is it possible to give up wine for 40 days and forty nights?!
Sunday, February 25th, 2007Yes that’s right! I am trying to give up wine for the whole of lent.
Lent is the Christian season that precedes Easter - a time of reflection and self-control. So will the temptation of a nice claret be too much?! We’ll see! Check back here for updates on the no-wine situation.
Leave a comment if you are giving something up and tell how it’s going!

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007I am addicted to Pinot Noir from Chile. The two I have been tasting are Cono Sur 2006 and Bio Bio Valley 2006. Thet are both under a fiver and yet have great depth of flavour and taste.
Cono Sur is the best, an earthy nose with mushrooms and hedgerows to tase. Bio Bio is fruitier, slightly sharper, still an exciting taste.
If you want to explore a new wine region get on to Chile!

Monday, February 19th, 2007Last night (9pm ITV1) was the start of Lewis, which is Morse by any other name. The producers had to find a way to carry on after the death of the great John Thaw, and promoting lewis and giving him a lewis of his own was a good idea. The Oxford settings remain, although the classic car has gone. To keep the pseudo-intellectual element, Lewis’s Lewis (Hathaway) has been given an erudition that Morse would have been proud of, last night demonstrating his knowledge of ancient Greek myths.
SPOILER ALERT…
The story was an interesting blend of murder, without a murderer - which was an intriguing twist on most detective stories. Morse fell for the ladies occasionally, and Lewis leaves the case knowing surely, that although the girl didn’t take revenge herself, she arranged the situation. In his book she had done nothing wrong - we have a more amoral detective than Morse, but still a great modern potboiler
