Planet of the Grapes

Lame name, but lovely little wine bar – tucked away on Bull’s Head Passage just down from the entrance to Leadenhall Market – this is where we found ourselves on Wednesday. The bar’s got a certain charm despite the name, with a cosy wine library/wardrobe sporting a solid selection from which to choose and some great wine glasses out of which to enjoy the chosen vin.

It was definitely a French flavoured night, starting with the French waitress, followed by the wines which on the white was Pouilly Fume - 2006 Chateau de Tracy – a lovely crisp Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley. On the red, it was a delightful Burgandy – some Pinot Noir from 2005 by Jean-Luc & Paul Aegerter.

All in all we had a wonderful little get together – some old and new faces to catch up with.

I’ll be in touch soon with details of the next venue.

Cheers all, see you soon
