This morning I collected a couple of cases of Smooth Tony's excellent Prosecco. Making my way into the hellhole that is our cantina (cellar), I realised that the jumble of boxes, empty bottles, bikes, kitchen stuff, old chairs, strings of onions and trays of potatoes would have to be put into some sort of order in order to allow the Prosecco to reach the wine racks. I cleared a path through and had to stop with a heavy heart and a curse on my lips when I saw the awful scene racked up before me. Eighteen bottles of Sauvignon Bianco, twelve of Cab Franc and ten of Raboso (all Smooth Tony's from 2007) that I'd missed, hidden behind the fruits of my irredeemable untidyness and laziness. And these are on top of the all the bottles that I haven't cracked yet. And we are about to bottle the 2008 vintage which arrived last week. Bugger! This is stuff that needs drinking NOW! The Intrepid One is coming over after Easter but we'll struggle to clear about twelve litres each over three days. Hmmm, although thinking about it......
