It was Grand National weekend and unknown to me I had a horse in the sweepstake the others did as part of their Majestic tasting .... amazingly my horse won! The prize was a stunning bottle of Moet 2008 which Hubby and I enjoyed at my first big achievement - our bed finally moving upstairs after 4 months sleeping in the conservatory - Celebration bubbly
Our friends also gave us a bottle of Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc which they had all enjoyed at the tasting. Sauvignon Blanc is my favourite grape and so I have been saving this bottle for a special moment .......
....... yesterday was that moment.
Four weeks ago I had all the metalwork removed from my ankle, a tendon flattened and a nerve repaired. My foot is quite sore as I now have a five inch scar either side of my ankle, however it now feels like it actually belongs to me and is not just a lump on the end of my leg. My movement is returning, I can walk up/down stairs, get my boots on and manage about half way round a small supermarket. It's early days but hopefully once the scars have healed, the swelling has gone down and my mobility increases I will feel like myself again and be back to 'me' before 7th April 2017.
So two years on and starting to feel normal, yesterday was Greywacke day. Hubby and I enjoyed this nicely chilled, initially on it's own and then with our chicken dinner.
It was a lovely wine, great glisten in the glass giving it an inviting appearance. It was full of peach and melon on the nose with a blossom background. It's flavour was soft white fruit and grapefruit, plenty of citrusy crispness with a smooth finish.
I did enjoy this wine, such a shame it wasn't back in 2017 with our friend whose gift was very much appreciated, salute!
