The label says "ingredients: sun☀️, grape, and all the love❤️ of the wine grower"... I've got nothing more to add, except maybe for a special thank to @moncopaincaviste

A number of positive things happening right now, including this, my 100th Instagram post.
Therefore, thought it about time for a - ‘me’ - treat which meant a call to my favourite wine merchant @awcph with a sizeable - ‘I deserve it’ - type wine order to re-supply my dwindling home stock.
Ernest Hemingway wrote:
“Wine is one of the most civilised things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than possibly, any other purely sensory thing.” I wish I had said that!
My - ‘I deserve it’ - delivery included wines from these esteemed estates. Mind boggling to think that these seven alone collectively represent over 1,500 years of wine making experience and yes Ernest - perfection and a lot of enjoyment as well!!
