After a cold start to the week, it started warming on Thursday. We went to Wimpole Estate Friday, which was the hottest day of the year so far with the temperature from 26-31C.

Finn's First

 Finn's first birthday in a couple of days time, so we went to see him and Toby cooked Sunday roast for us, Chris, Carol and Louise.

Rhododendrons at Childwickbury

 Our third visit to see Childwickbury's rhododendrons was successful, but it was a cold gloomy day.

Prime Steak & Grill

 

Went to Prime Steak & Grill for dinner. We had a 200g Fillet with chunky chips and Heritage Tomato side salad and enjoyed my last bottle of Ridge Geyserville 2017 (Alexander Valley).

Because Zinfandel was under the minimum percentage it couldn’t be labelled as a varietal. But I’m of the firm opinion that Zinfandel is vastly improved when blended with complementary varieties and the presence of 18% Carignan, 12% Petite Sirah and 2% Alicante Bouschet, plus its bottle age, made drinking this wine a sublime experience.
