| The label |
At reference 1, I noticed a virtual visit to a new wine shop at Guildford to buy some of Alexandre Bain's fine white wine. Then last Sunday, we thought to try the one which was new-to-us, the Mademoiselle M 15. We rather liked it - and with the only catch being that they seem to have sold out of the stuff, with no trace of it on their web site this morning. Just as well we now have a few bottles in hand, having placed a second order, following that already noticed.
We rather liked the chicken too, Sainsbury's finest. To think that chicken was a luxury item when I was a child - and now it is the cheapest meat going, turkey perhaps aside. But turkey is not as convenient and - festal birds aside - I prefer chicken. Maybe chickens are much more efficient at turning animal feed into usable meat than cows. Maybe it has something to do with my recollection that a lot of their feed is something to do with waste from fish processing plants? Waste that cows are not fond of?

| The personalised cork |
Polly was fussing about alcohol consumption again. But she remembered that she had not got it quite right last time, standing on the top of the empty bottle, while Grandpa sloped off with something else which she hadn't noticed.
The only snag was that Polly is not terribly bright. So this time she tried standing on the cork, which was just as ineffective as her last effort. Not that Grandpa minded.
Note that not only do we have a cork with our new wine, it is a personalised cork stamped with the personal mark of the vigneron.
