\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cracking night last night. Dinner with the growers at the Real Wine Fair. 200 people, a gazillion bottles of natural wine, and simple but delicious food. I didn’t take any notes, but I did take my camera, with a trusty old 28 mm manual focus lens at f2.8. Considering how much wine was consumed, it’s amazing that any of the pictures are remotely in focus.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A brilliant skin contact white from Zidarich: so refreshing, complex and long.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From Julian Castagna, a very rich, ripe example but with good definition.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A magnum of Gringet from Belluard, 2010 vintage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A magnum of\u00a0Matassa: reductive, taut, great definition.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A thrilling St Joseph: one of the wines of the night. Utterly seductive and elegant.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Foillard’s Morgon Cote de Py 2010 in magnum. Minerally, taut, fine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Natural wine champion: Mark Andrew of Roberson.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Schioppettino: this is a thrillingly peppery, perfumed wine. Just amazing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The wonderful Mr Douglas Wregg.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Natasha Claxton (R&R) and Joe Wadsack.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A beautiful Loire red: so elegant. From 1995.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Memorable wine from Paolo Bea.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Alice Feiring and Tim Wildman<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Craig Hawkins, Alice\u00a0(hiding) and Tom Lubbe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Brilliant skin contact white.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Joe’s face says it all. A truly stunning wine. Flor aged, if I recall correctly. Must try this again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cheers Alice!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ben Henshaw, Indigo, with Doug.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of my favourite sparkling wines.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thierry Puzelat.<\/p>\n
