Phenomenal Belgian beers @the.portcullis #belgianbeerfestival with @jennychandleruk and Mr B. Mopped up with a hearty plate of beef stew and chips. Beers you don’t normally find here so nip round there tonight if you’re in #Bristol. . . . #beer #belgianbeer #stbernardus #westvleteren #vleteren #affligemtripel #pub #drinklocalSuper-delicate Dorset crab tart @wildhoneystjames last night which was paired with this extraordinarily deep-coloured vintage rosé champagne from @moetchandon. Brilliant menu (the confit chicken with ceps, macaroni and Parmesan was amazing with a 1998 from the grand vintage collection), extraordinary wines. You didn’t think Moet made this complex style of champagne? Nor did I tbh. And cheaper than DP - if you can get your hands on them! #guest . . . #champagne #vintagechampagne #rosechampagne #crab #moet #wine #instawine #winestagramLove this post from my son @wjjbeckett (on the right). He and Huw first met when they were 11! “New favourite pic of me and Huw 34 years later and still probably laughing at something stupid that happened when we were 14” Bet they didn’t imagine they’d be sitting there with cups of tea either … #hawksmoor #childhoodfriends #bff #proudmumLoving these Séléné Beaujolais nouveaus (nouveaux?) I bought from @kaskwine. Have only tasted the one on the right so far (also available at @hopburnsblack and @corkandcask) but it’s absolutely delicious with incredibly pure crunchy red fruit. . . . #beaujolais #beaujolaisnouveau #gamay #winelabel #instawine #winestagram #naturalwine Follow on Instagram
