Kensal Rising

I recommend having a wine with Miro on Chamberlayne. Not only has Chamberlayne just been dubbed the hippest street in Europe, but Miro's is a great little spot for a wine, a snack and a chat. Sitting outside alfresco style in London given the gorgeous evening it was on Wednesday just gone, we enjoyed an obligatory Rose... or at least I did, as ever. However, it was red which carried us through the evening. In particular, we drank a Tempranillo to accompany our food - "Around the World" tapas (a new offering at this bar which has traditionally just served wine). I'm pretty certain we sampled at least one of every dish (lamb, salmon, prawns, white bait, chick peas and the rest) which were all very tasty and fresh, making it difficult to pick a clear stand-out. Back on the wine, there was a clear stand-out... we finished with a cracking bottle of red - a 2007 Domaine Combier Crozes-Hermitage. An extremely smooth Syrah/Shiraz from the Rhone region in France. Solid pick Dave.

Thanks boys (and Rach) for a great wine night.

See you all soon.
