Kanzem Altenburg 2007 Riesling
Monday, November 10th, 2008I’ve held my tongue for a while. I don’t want to sound like yet another whinger that told you so, but I was never in favour of Mark Hughes being appointed manager of Man City. I admit that I reneged on my promise to turn up at the first game of this season and shout the Sven mantra. I actually turned up at Eastlands yesterday to see Man City suffer a humiliating 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, albeit after some questionable refereeing and grim Manchester weather.
But whilst luck and refereeing even out over a season, we have a number of more fundamental weaknesses. Dunne is looking disastrous, Vassell is just not in the same class as his team-mates, Zabaleta still has to convince me he is even close to Corluka who left for Spurs in August. Worryingly I hear rumours that Hughes’ intentions of splashing the Abu Dhabi cash in the January transfer window are targeted at a handful of his Blackburn ex-employees. The ones who helped him reach the astonishing heights of mid table obscurity, admittedly at low cost.
Sometimes, though, if you have the money, you need to aim a bit higher. I am not exactly rich so it was a stretch for me to fork out £21 to the Wine Society for this Kanzem Altenberg Alte Reben Riesling Spätlese, von Othegraven, 2007 from the Mosel. A mouthful in every sense…
Stumble It!
