Fame at last!
24-Oct-08 - Got a Google alert this morning leading to the webpage of More Intelligent Life (MIL), the internet offshoot of Intelligent Life Magazine.
In case the link fails or goes out of date, it's an interview with Heston Blumenthal about his love of Sherry as an accompaniment to food by Tom Harrow of MIL, and the relevant paragraph is as follows:
MIL: My first sherry epiphany occurred after Big John Radford [a larger-than-life wine writer/lecturer and bon vivant; the Falstaff of his era] exhorted his diploma students to try a Dry Old Oloroso with their Sunday Roast Beef. It was a revelation - if painful on Monday. When did you first start considering sherry in a non-traditional sense?
It just goes to show that you don't know to whom you're talking at a WSET lecture!

Hello John, I always enjoy reading your blog and thought that you would like to know that the Camitz people didn't tell you the whole story. Camitz is not the first sparkling vodka. The original is actually British and called O2 Sparkling Vodka and has been around for a few years. I first started drinking it about 4 years ago and it is one of my favourite vodkas. I find I like it best on ice with just a lemon or lime twist to really appreciate it as a spirit.
Thanks for that, peter. Where can I get it?
