On arrival at Bang Bang.

13:08:51
Erika chose sushi for lunch.

13:15:31
Whereas I had this (Chinese?) mock chicken in black pepper sauce.

13:22:56
...and also some (Malaysian? Indonesian?) mock chicken satay skewers on the side.

14:39:04
Next down to Kings Cross for the Wines of England tasting at Canopy Market.

15:02:54
A portable vineyard. This was a nice idea.

15:16:29
Three Choirs Classic Cuvee. It's OK, but lacks finesse compared to some of the others on show.

15:19:43
Hawkins Bros, now this is more like it. Definitely a decent amount of finesse here.

15:36:55
Winbirri Vineyards Bacchus 2018. Bacchus still isn't really my thing, but this has apparently won some significant awards.

16:02:20
Exton Park's Blanc de Noirs. This was joyous.

16:08:50
Oastbrook's Rose - one of the other highlights of today's tasting.

16:19:01
Oastbrook's Pinot Gris. Not really my sort of thing but clearly a very well made wine.

16:39:26
Brightwell from Oxford. Possibly a bit outshone by some of the other wines this afternoon, but would like to revisit at some point.

16:39:27

17:48:13
Later on back at home - Exton Park's Brut, of which I bought a bottle.

17:48:37
Also bought a bottle of their Blanc de Noirs.
