Josh's house

We were very kindly invited by Josh to an evening of italian home-cooking and wine themed around Piedmont, generally a team favourite region. Cellars were raided and some very lovely bottles trundled round to Hampstead for a very pleasant and convivial evening. Josh, Rafa, Peter, Ed, Ian, Thomas & me.
Antipasti - Vitello Tonnato, Bagna Cauda
Primo - Tajarin al ragu di salsiccia
Secondo - Brasato al Barolo, Polenta
Dolce - Tiramisu
Josh cooks a mean ragu and a tiramisu to die for! Who knew?! The wines were mostly very nice, with some clear favourites emerging in almost complete concensus - Roagna and Brovia in everyone's top three. Wonderful evening, top company, so enjoy having met all these people over the last few years.

A very pleasing glass, very even and balanced, fresh and super easy to drink. Not to fizzy, not to sharp or sour, just right. Lovely start to proceedings.

Medium yellow. High level of fizz, so refreshing and energetic. The bubbles go quite quickly, this is all about bread and citrus tang. Lovely stuff.
