Vegetables. If there is a point to them, it totally eludes me.

I admit there is one exception, but Chateauneuf Blanc, why? Why? The one exception excepted, I would rather buy toilet paper from a second-hand shop than spend money on Chateauneuf Blanc AND be expected to drink it.

Say what you like about white Chateauneuf, "It is not very nice" would be a fair thing to say, but it is quite rich in booze!

I have just bought these fantastic shoes. I will wear them with my purple cord jacket and purple velvet trousers. I will have to beat off all the people who lustfully throw themselves at me!

It has been 15-odd years since I last visited #Jersey. Then you could have excellent seafood if you bought it and cooked it yourself. Now it seems there are an abundance of restaurants that can cook Jersey's first-rate seafood with skill and style - hooray!

For my phone to rate my sleep I need to sleep at least six hours a night for six consecutive nights. I am still waiting for my phone to rate my sleep. I got my phone in March. I feel awful.

I have heard vintage reports from a few friends in France: yields are 1/2-to-1/3 what they would normally expect. This is going to sink so many wine growers, it's terrible. I urge you all to support our friends in the vineyards by buying as much wine as possible!

It is not going to be long until this number reaches 1.5m. Shocking, a lost generation, and a scarred populace. Certainly, in noble Ukraine too.

Elitistreview.com is 21-years-old today - it is finally old enough to be incarcerated in an adult prison! There is no anniversary post today, I'm afraid, but on Monday morning at 08:40 BST there will be a post from @humanleon.bsky.social and me reviewing a stack of Ridge wines from 2013 and before.

I do not understand why people talk about the Guinness being good at particular boozers - it is the same bleeding stuff everywhere! Guinness is a dead, homogeneous, soulless drink.

Jancis Robinson was incredibly rude about two Wintonian MW's in her column today. I've had the misfortune not to have avoided going to dinner with the cheap, talentless couple. I think I was ruder, but not in an International newspaper.

Labour's whole pitch at the general election was, basically, "We're not the Tories." Turns out Kier Starmer is almost as an unprincipled shit as Boris Johnson.

We have a rival for Mickael Bourg in the absolutely terrible label stakes. Bruno Sorg Riesling Grand Cru Pfersigberg. The wine is brilliant - François Sorg is one of the top tier winemakers in Alsace - but an orange label with turd brown text? No, no, no!

I cannot say how happy I am to have sold my Galaxy Z Fold7 and procured an S26 Ultra. Even ignoring all the (significant) upgrades, it's just so much more usable than something that is hard to unfold into something you cannot hold or touch too hard. I love my new phone!

The problem with drinking Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Cru is, having a youth spent drinking Puligny 1er Cru as if it were water, it just seems a bit pedestrian. Puligny 1er Cru is now so expensive it has an abysmal QPR; what to do? Drink Alsace and German Riesling, Saffer Chenin and Kumeu River.

I got a new phone today, a Galaxy S26 Ultra. It's fantastic: so fast, packed with useful functionality, it's purple too! We live in a golden age of technology - powerful tech of amazing utility has never been so accessible. I'm happy we have moved so far from the Sinclair ZX81.
