Château de Nervers, Brouilly, 2009
Monday, March 7th, 2011I am in the envious position of having tickets to see Elbow in their home town on 25 March. So tonight, Matthew, I’m doing a bit of cramming.
Have you heard the new Elbow album? It was released today and I downloaded it from iTunes for the princely sum of £10.99. Listening to it now, I am not yet totally enamoured. But that almost certainly means that, with two or three more listens, I will love it. Guy Garvey’s sharp “northern” lyrics combined with soulful melodies seem to appeal as much to men, as to women, despite the music being a bit soft for Northern blerks. I’d like to see Guy proclaimed King of Manchester and maybe I’d share a curry with him at Akbars, the most royal of Manchester Ruby restos.
The self proclaimed King of Beaujolais, Georges Duboeuf, sent me some Brouilly, via the Wine Society who debited my account to the rather commonly sum of £8.75. Château de Nervers, Brouilly, 2009, is from a legendary Bojo vintage. Do you believe the hype?
Stumble It!
