The other two pictures show the full line-up of thirteen magnums and four jeroboams for the thirty guests at Davy’s Birthday Big Bottle Bonanza. If you’ve missed the full list for […]
Tonight we decided to have some Wooing Tree Pinot Noir with one of the first Vacherin Mont d’Or’s of the season, the match was terrible, but I’ll tell you about the wine first before we get onto the cheese and silly video. Wooing Tree Pinot Noir 2009 is a top-flight New Zealand Pinot from the […]
I know I’ve done a brief video tasting note of G. D. Vajra Moscato d’Asti, but having just gulped down another bottle I thought I’d say a little more. One of the things you’ve got to avoid in Moscato, and is all too prevalent in the cheap ones, is that they smell and taste of […]
Blondie by Wooing Tree Steaks cooking Steaks a bit more cooked Gorgeous beef Ready to whip off the grill Sreak macaroni and cheese, and Wooing Tree Blondie Latest quickie.

A couple of days ago one of my oldest supposed friends abused me horribly by text, belittling and being wholly unrealistic about the seriousness of my current illness. The Bastard. It made me want to drink bleach. Instead I decided to try the new strength eleven and twelve Nespresso coffee capsules: Dharkan and Kazaar. The delay in this review appearing […]

Well today we go one step further with a video tasting note harnessing the the power of Instagram. I admit that the focussing ability of my tablet is not […]
Elitistreview is eight years today and, my, how it has blossomed into an artfully sculpted youth.
