So today we dived along the M40 to Oxford for the Foodies Festival, ie rock up sample free food, try and get Iona to eat something nice, try some wine and then stroll home, today however as well as organising the tickets Octavia had booked us in for the Wine Theatre “Burgundy Demystified” by Louis Jadot (the champagne tasting was fully booked)
We sampled five fantastic wines and were taken through them and Burgundy by Quentin Sadler. Quentin spoke informally with real passion about the region and also the wines of Louis Jadot and in spite of suffering from a sore throat made the session very enjoyable with his knowledge and humour.
And on the food front Iona had a very nice sausage in a bun (not interested in the Hog Roast this time) and also demolished a large ice cream before bouncing like a loon on the Oxford Mail bouncy castle.
