I am enjoying this vintage of blackberry wine. It is the correct level of sweetness, is definitely a 'red' wine and maintains a strong bramble taste. It went nicely with Nigel Slater's recipe for Fatty Pork & Lentils, which I cooked whilst Claire was having a viola lesson.
This morning was spent stealing a march on my return to work tomorrow after a week's holiday. I needed a solid 4 hours without phones ringing to reduce 220 emails to 16 undealt with - and that is pretty efficient. My afternoon involved exploring the graveyard of Roundhay St John's Church.

The wine sounds perfect and the photo is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Ange. The photo has been edited (using Snapseed - a fabulous App for turning dull photos good), but I was quite pleased with it. Blackberry wine is one of my very favourites.
DeleteHi Ben will definitely have a look at the Snapseed.
ReplyDeleteKeep the blogs coming, love them.
My blackberry this year ( just done the first racking) is quite dry, how's yours doing.
Have a good weekend,
Ange
Hello Ange, and thank you. I racked my blackberry on 9 October, and my notes say 'tasted promising'. I can't actually remember. I did add some extra sugar but not very much.
DeleteSo far, my weekend is being dank and lethargic. Hope yours is going better.
Ben
