Another very enjoyable meal last night. This time at Au martin bleu, close to the main station of Tours, where fish is a speciality. We started with a Vouvray méthode traditionelle from Allias, followed by the very good 2007 Bel Air Touraine-Amboise from Damien Delecheneau's La Grange Tiphaine and then an excellent 2005 Clos Picot Savennières fromn Yves Guengniard of Champs-sur-Layon. The Allias rather split the table – some liked, while Sarah and I would have preferred a lower dosage.
Despite no longer living in Skegness Joe Wadsack was his customary ebullient self – demonstrating once again what an amazing memory he has for wines and meals that he eaten: able to remember details from at least fifteen years ago.
