Apparently it's all to do with two brothers that own the Nam Ploy. One of them wanted to latch the Crofters on to the name and the other didn't. Hence The Crofters now being called the ............ whatever it's called just now!

The nosebag at Ewood last night really was first class again. Still, it's done by Northcote, so it's what you'd expect.

However, this Christmas I've mostly become addicted to Tesco's three-seed mini breadsticks dipped in spring onion & black pepper light Philadelphia, with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

Does that make me a bad person?

I know this is a grape for the discerning... but I sort of have very slight and uneasy reservations about the repellent wine it produces...

My wife thinks this makes me a bad person...

We compromise on viognier (tonight v decent number from Oc at £4.50) which went well enough with mushroom omelette and tomato/shallot salad on a let's take it easy night in the kitchen.

Don't like viognier much, always think it tastes "cooked".

Sauvignon blanc is harmless in the Old World and to be avoided at all costs in the New, everywhere but New Zealand. Not that I carry any blind prejudices around.

I'd avoid worldwide myself...

The chardonnay of burgundy does fine for me... Don't know what 'cooked' means... Elucidate?

Way over the top, the kind of wine you just know comes from a sun-baked place and will give you the most headache-led shocking hangover after one sip. New World Chardonnay also has the quality. In red wine this would be referred to as over extraction. Its very difficult to put a definitive answer to. But "cooked" is as good as I can get. (So imagine slowly stewing the wine then chilling and serving it).

We sometimes get delivered a bottle of Chardonnay Viognier from Arabella.. One of my favourites.

This one:

Battered chips ??

The wine was 6 quid a go Prosecco from Bruce's local Morrisons... The 'food' was stuff like olives and cheese bits with stuff like ryvita and smoked salmon and ritz and mince pies and all sorts of peculiar odds n ends...

And we did a couple of Cosmos each as well...

Company was great...

but not sober when they left... :D
