Victor Montes is definitely a must when visiting Bilbao. You really get everything you’re looking for. A fantastic humming atmospere, delicious Spanish wine, and a bar top laden with traditional Basque style pintxo. If you don’t speak Spanish you also get some hilarious lost in translation moments thrown in for free. It was all pretty fantastic…

‘The Typing Project’ wine tasting at Laithwaite’s.
Have you ever considered how the visuals of a wine label influences the way in which you drink and enjoy the wine? I suppose I have, but only in the sense that I will often buy a wine based on whether or not I like the label. I’m no expert, but generally I know what…
Moro – A North African and Spanish style riot of flavours AKA. Post work-out treat
On Wednesday I went to a HIIT class. For the uninitiated, that’s High Intensity Interval Training, involving squats, push ups, dumbbells and so on.

Pringles and red wine AKA ‘The Shame’ AKA ‘Attack of the Ghost Hand’

Sparkling Wine Tasting – Laithwaite’s
It’s Thursday evening, and I am back at Laithwaite’s in London bridge for a sparkling wine tasting. Not only am I happily drinking, I’m learning! I had always taken it for granted that the bubbles were just there. I had never considered how they got there in the first place. Looks like we might owe…
Laithwaite’s – Raw Chocolate and Wine Masterclass
Last Thursday I attended a raw chocolate and wine, pairing and masterclass at Laithwaite’s Wine, under the arches, at London Bridge. I didn’t know what to expect. Having never tried raw chocolate before, I had always rather associated it with the unappealing crumbly dry stuff one might buy from a health food store during an…
