Wine Tasting in Falmouth, Cornwall

Thursday 22nd November 2012

Wine tasting is an essential part of planning for the next season! I of course struggled as usual to force myself to go. It's tough, but all for the greater good... Honest!! ;)
There's going to be the few inevitable changes to the wine list as usual. Some new wines to look forward to! Again, the wines I select will offer excellent value & quality.

The weather forecast was pretty horrendous for Thursday 22nd November. So much so that we changed our flight plans to arrive on the mainland on the Wednesday to make sure we got to the tasting on Thursday! Luckily we did, as there was no flying all day on Thursday with the very strong winds and heavy rains.
In Falmouth on the Thursday a tree blew over across the road opposite the Maritime Museum, where the tasting took place. The road was closed and the chainsaws were out in record time to clear the obstruction. It was soon cleared.

It's another particularly rough, windy day today on Scilly. So far we've avoided the rain today after an extremely wet few days! Luckily we don't have rivers to burst their banks like many places on the mainland. There has been flooding but nothing on the scales of the mainland. Our thoughts go to these people who are suffering floods & damage to their properties and belongings. We hope our guests have escaped the chaos, and are keeping safe.

Posts are doing strange things I'm afraid. This is my 3rd attempt since it originally failed to upload on the 21st!
