Posh wine

The posh vinho verde mentioned above. Well fairly posh, with amazon offering half a dozen of something which looks very similar for £43.94. On the other hand it involves Alvarinho and Trajadura grapes, so none of your bog-standard sauvignon blanc here. Odd that it seems to be the non-French but European countries which go in for exotic varieties of grapes, while the French seem to have settled for just the three or four we have all heard of.

Not like other fruit and vegetables, where there are usually lots of varieties of everything. Something to suit every pocket and every terroir. Or at least there were before the big producers took over the world.

I passed on the flan involving lots of sugar and baked condensed milk which could have come with it. A bit hard core for me.
