Tom Lewis @tomlewiscambridge.bsky.social · 20hExploring Prague. Couple of local wines: - Gruener to add another country to the list (Austria, Italy, NZ and RSA done so far) 120 CZK (=£4) - Blaufraenkisch aka frankovka with an award bc it’s the great red grape of central Europe CZK 290 (=£10) Have not had Czech wine in decades. 150
Tom Lewis @tomlewiscambridge.bsky.social · 21hExploring Prague. Not sure about these grapes growing just outside the Strahov Monastery. Conditions seem perfect - vines mature, hillside location, plenty of sun exposure plus a bit of altitude for cool breezes. What could be the problem? @adhalliwell.bsky.social @vinosity.bsky.social 140

Tom Lewis @tomlewiscambridge.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Went for dinner in Prague. Local place, nothing special. Felt very 90s post-communist with a simple dark-wood interior and hard rock soundtrack. Pilsner Urquell, slab of roast pork belly that sufficed for two and cabbage salad with horseradish. Then strolled / rolled to the main square. 250
Tom Lewis @tomlewiscambridge.bsky.social · 03/10/2026How it started. How it’s going. Up at silly o’clock for late-summer family holiday in Prague. I was a regular here in the early post-communist days, but it’s been 20-odd years now. The best parts have not changed a bit and I get to explore them with #1 child who is here for the first time. 060
Tom Lewis @tomlewiscambridge.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Did a wine-tasting at work. Put in a few of my personal favourites, then topped it up with classics, modern classics and some off-piste stuff.

Tom Lewis @tomlewiscambridge.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Been to 4 wine tastings in 3 days after a long break from trade events. Feeling deeply conflicted about what critics say is good vs what I enjoy. - Technically impressive but hard-work £150 wine. - Really enjoyed £10 wine, even if much more basic. I always say a good wine is what you like. 040

Tom Lewis @tomlewiscambridge.bsky.social · 28/08/2026A while ago, I had an oxidised Pouilly-Fumé. Sherry-esque, but I quite enjoyed it. This one from 2017 is mature, but not oxidised. Quince, roasted cashews and almonds with dried apricots and apple slices. Not dissimilar to an amber wine. But without the wait. 050
