For those of you who dont’t yet know, I have moved back to sunny Santa Barbara – after just over a decade in London (with lots of time spent in the Languedoc).
Therefore, as sad as it is, the blog had to take a back seat.
BUT, never one to just spread bad news, I am happy to say Spiltwine.com will be as active as ever …with new stuff coming soon!
Here’s a little preview of what to expect.
Recently I saw my first ever butchering of a pig.
From catching the little bugger in its massive pen…all the way to the guy being hung, drawn and literally quartered. It was emotional but the butcher was a pro!
Just under 300lbs of prime, freerange swine
Also, was on hand to see the bottling of a new wine label to emerge here in SB… Altman Wines — Mike Altman is an enthusiast who, will probably admit himself, t00k it a little too far when he was offered some grapes.
Mike Altman with some shiners of his first ever wine! Reviews coming soon...
Finally, harvest is in full swing here in SB County…so I’ll be making that trek northbound to see whats going on….word is though, and it’s not a big surprise, there’s lots to sell but not many who want to buy!
Feels good to be typing again.
Awesome, keep us informed re all the postings
