Orange Wine - First Bottle (B4), 1st-2nd March 2016

This orange wine is splendid. It has a smoother taste than 2014's vintage: there is no bitter hint but the orange flavour is maintained. It has a sweetness and freshness which are both welcome.

On Wednesday night I was glad of its availability. When we turned up to WYSO, half the orchestra were outside the school door unable to get access. The care taker was adamant that we had been told that the school was closed for exams. I was equally adamant that I had received no e-mail telling us this. Eventually he let us rehearse in the drama hall and disaster was avoided.
