I had to google Kate Pierson. She looks fun. I was surprised to see that her looks - or at the photos provided by Google - belie her actual vintage. Richard Kelley, who knows about these things, tells me that 1948 was an 'undistinguished' year for Vouvray, but that doesn't really help us.
Anyway, Cabernet d'Anjou can age very well, and Kate seems to be doing so too. My kind of wine, though I couldn't possibly comment on whether she's my kind of girl.
Hair of the hare? Anyway, I like the label.

You should have read on: Kate Pierson married her wife, Monica Coleman, on 3 August 2015.

As I said, I couldn't possibly comment!

I think watching her performing Love Shack on the 30-year-old TOTP reruns recently may have been in my mind.

I feel better than James Brown
waste of space, there will be no THC in this at all. all it will achieve is a taste of hemp in there somewhere, there will be no active ingredients as it would be classed as illegal.
cannabutter works very well with food, wine i very much doubt

Ah, right. I didn't know the B52s were the Love Shack artistes.

I bought some Ronsay because everyone was raving about it so much here. Opened the first one yesterday. Thought it was absolutely fine, totally drinkable, but not something I would want to buy again.
And then, with lunch today, a glass from the same bottle. And what a transformation -- softer, richer, more refined, more gluggable.
If the change is in the wine and not me, the conclusion is: let it breathe!

How did the Mégaphone and Pigeoulet go down?

Bordeaux is of course expensive. I bought some of this last summer. Well priced perhaps because it's from Castillon just to the east of Bordeaux. Majestic are of course now out of stock... https://www.majestic.co.uk/wines/premier-vin-du-chateau-de-pitray-01161 Anyone else with Bordeaux recommendations?

Following yesterday's revelation I actually watched the 1989 performance of Love Shack this morning. I love Kate's one handed keyboard/shimmy routine. Put me in a top mood to face the rigours of another lockdown day at the coalface.
They look pretty similar to me: is Kate the lively redhead or the blonde who can't mime ?
Second wines such as Dame de Montrose or Segla. Lalande-Borie, Capbern, Meyney and Fieuzal. By Bordeaux standards with UK duty/tax they are not expensive but they are not under £20.
Meerlust Rubicon, Kanonkop Paul Sauer are two of the best SA bordeaux blends. There are others, and from other NW countries.

Kate is the Cabernet, Cindy the Chardonnay.

Kate looks far too much fun to be Cabernet.
Grenache?

@Marchbanks .Wow you've nailed the art of wine reviewing,you've got it down to a girl's name.
That course certainly was worth it.
Would Grace be a Cab Franc?

Excellent, found some very affordable Capbern, it's on its way.
