Can’t quite put my finger on the reasons for it but a few years ago my outlook on life changed fundamentally for the better ie I became happier.

Best match criteria tend to be:
- full body to cope with richness
- high acidity to cut through fat
- neutrality to avoid flavour clash
- low tannins to avoid salt clash
Sherry, Loire Chenin and SB, Riesling / Gruener/ Assyrtiko etc, tawny port, mature reds all a good starting point.

Album of my formative years, Kate.
I spent years down a Joy Division rabbit hole before emerging to Smiths, Cramps, JMC and Pixies for light relief.
Friend tried (unsuccessfully) to get me into Stone Roses, MBV and Fall - these are now #1 child’s favourite bands so the circle is completed.

These look just like the short of Victorian bay-fronted houses we have over here, Kate.
I used to live in one at university.
Ground floor, above the cellar, exposed hillside.
Ceiling was 3m high with no central heating - it was absolutely freezing during that North-of-England winter.

My favourite of the Beaujolais Crus - I think it’s the cote thing (more altitude, drainage, diurnal variation etc), but there’s just more going on in these than any of the others.
