That can only mean one thing – soccer season is back! The English Premiere League kicked off this weekend, and I am happy to say that my beloved Arsenal kicked off the season with a massive 6-1 thrashing of Everton, to put us top of the league after the first round. Additionally, it makes it even better that the dreaded Liverpool lost to Tottenham today, putting them bottom of the table for the moment. It’s a long way ’til May, but we couldn’t have dreamed for a better start.

Looking forward to intense action in Spain and Italy this year too, and rooting for Barcelona and Inter Milan to repeat their triumphs of last year…

In the meantime, back in the world of grapes and vines – I’m in the tasting room from 1-5 today – stop in to taste (and check out some Grand Cru Burgs “off the menu” if you ask nicely !)
