@kdfrawg Thanks. Good thing I have family here.

@indigo There's one later tonight but it's £90. Since I stay with my cousin for free, I bought a return (tomorrow morning 10am £45, then 1st July since I need to be back again anyway).
So I'm out quite a bit of pocket…sigh.
@indigo Yep. Trains to Edinburgh are usually from King's Cross, this turned out to be from Euston. Ran into Euston 1 minute before the train was due to leave and so missed it.
Not happy with this expensive mistake. Went to the wrong station and missed the train by 2 minutes.
Swift (London) is the first cocktail bar I've seen with a Bamboo/Adonis-derived cocktail: Piccolina.
- Dry vermouth
- Taylor's Chip Dry white port
- Fig
- Angostura
Really nice.
Which means next time I batch cocktails, I'll be batching this recipe.
Perhaps sometime next month, I should start cleaning up my Markdown restaurant notes. A system has worked itself out in the last year or so, so just under 100 files to process.
None written in the same way, unfortunately. I let this one grow too organically.
Mixed feelings about today's tasting. Some excellent wines, some really subpar ones.
By international standards, I mean. I don't doubt that some were chosen as the best Eastern European wines of the group.
Tasting day.
Starting with a masterclass.
T-just under 2 hours.
Need coffee.
(And food. But coffee first.)
