Lots on and lots to do. the wine trade is going well with plenty of new business coming in and many reams of paper to type out. But there are several other things on my mind.
The Frogeye Sprite is far from finished and has hit a bit of a dead end with the paint job being 5 weeks away and I am anxious to get that old project underway. As for my other passions in life, I feel as though I have lost touch with them.
The rock climbing has taken a rather solid back seat at the moment but I am consciously reminding myself that it is something that brings a lot of stability to ones life on the whole. I miss being outside as a whole but who can complain when your office day gets interrupted by a family esq voice booming from down stairs 'Ben'.......'Ben', 'Yes', 'Wine tasting'.
I tried some South African wines today which included some more of the Indaba wines, including there sharp citrus Chenin Blanc, their luscious and delicious Merlot and there slightly disappointing Bordeaux Blend 'Mosaic', not bad just not as appealing after tasting the Merlot.
After taking them both home, the home crowd agreed. The Bouchard Finlayson Pinot Noir on the other hand may be £23 odd squid but is out of this world, one of my first 'wow' moments in the wine industry (still young and un-educated but)!
