Pineapple Wine - Second Bottle (3), 15th-17th March 2014

This bottle was not as good as the last, but that may have to do with differing expectations - and it was far from awful. It did for the whole of the weekend and into Monday too, which is rare for something drinkable.

On Saturday and Sunday we returned late from concerts and mostly wanted to sleep rather than get sloshed. Saturday's Music Club was the longest ever - running past ten. I would like to complain bitterly, but in fact most the music in the second half was well done. It was only the orchestra in the first half (and in which I was playing) that I would have cut.

Sunday was an Airedale concert - Bruckner's First Symphony - whch is loud and tedious.
