Muscadet, forgotten wine of the 1970s?
Sunday, December 16th, 2007Has Ian Simpson finally moved in? From my bijou pad in Manchester I can see his penthouse apartment atop the Beetham tower, self appointed tallest residential building in Europe. Recently I have noticed some lights on the top floor for the first time, so maybe it is finally fitted out?
The fact that I can see his penthouse is far from remarkable since most residents of Greater Manchester, the Outer Hebrides, and the caves of Afghanistan can see this proud member of a building.
So some of you may assume that I reside in the forgotten 1970’s part of town. I beg to differ! And so must the poor producers of Muscadet when challenged. Muscadet is sooooooo 1970’s. Sooooooo much so I wanted to remember it rather than forget it. Is Sèvre et Maine really a second class citizen compared to the more fashionable and expensive Loire appellations like Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé?
Stumble It!
