a gastrocentric survival guide for Londoners
Swiss wines are really rare. Only about 2% of all Swiss wines made are ever exported and its quite likely that one may not even find them in major restaurants in Geneva. So when I read about an exclusive Swiss wine tasting in London, I really had to sample it for myself. Forty quid, a dozen bottles and in the company of the great Neville Blech.
We now take a detour from restaurant hopping to finding that drink, in the city of Smoke.

I love to wine and dine. However, my shrinking wardrobe and bank balance doesn’t always permit my indulgences on a more frequent basis. While surfing the luminaries of foodie-interwebs, I came across the expertly written, if subdued opinion of London’s newest wine restaurant. High Timber stores 40,000 bottles of wine in the cellars beneath the restaurant, not to mention the use of Dyson busting, the ‘Xcelarator’ in the toilets. Needless to say I was intrigued by their choice of hand dryers and was delighted to take up the offer of a free meal when it came knocking.

It has taken me almost three months to get here, but I’m glad I stuck to my seven part guns and have wrote about one my favourite subjects: wine.
In the end, when I’m reflecting on what I’ve said (and what I haven’t) , my knowledge on wine is but a grain of sand in the most expansive of beaches. So it is only appropriate that I highlight some of the best wine resources around the web to conclude this my quickie guide to wine.
