Great value red Bordeaux (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bordeaux is a beautiful city. Go there, if you can. Stroll along the quais as the sunlight glimmers on the river. Go for dinner. Have a glass of the local wine then come home and drink some more. Because contrary to general perceptions – which I find usually take years to update – Bordeaux doesn’t just make some of the world’s best wine at the top tier, it does it at the £10-15 level as well.This isn’t actually a happy situation for growers and winemakers in Bordeaux, whose wine has fallen so fa…
Time for tarte tatin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The transformation of Aldi and Lidl into places in which everyone is desperate to say they shop (and to tell you, often in too much detail, about their finds) is one of the great marketing coups of the last decade. Cashews from Lidl? Yoghurt from Aldi? We know, we know. Yet still we can’t get enough of it.

Back in the kitchen, back with a bottle (opens the original)

Read excerpt
We are melting here in London. It is probably time to acknowledge that those of us who do not live in basement flats might need to think about aircon if much work is to be done. I am certainly a lot less productive when my kitchen is at 32c as it has been too much already this year. My brother said a friend of his in Yorkshire - Yorkshire! - had been driven to buy a mobile aircon unit from Screwfix. The friend ran the pipe out of the window, stuffed up the gap with pillows and said that this Hea…
Dammit, I forgot one (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I also wanted to add a belter of a South African chenin blanc from the Wine Society. It’s £25. Remember, you can order just one bottle from TWS if you want to try it.<img alt="" class="sizing-normal" height="389.2664835164835" src="https://substackcdn.co…
