One For The Vine - Genesis

The weather picture was more interesting today than the birds, with bright sunshine throughout and only wisps of high cirrus cloud adding some contrast to an otherwise azure blue sky. The overnight wind speed had also moderated which, coupled with a noticeable fall in temperature, it was a lovely crisp day.

I did manage to cover most of the areas close at hand, but only came up with a handful of more common bird species making for more of a pictorial today,


male Blackbird

Dunnock

Lesser Black-backed Gull

Grey Heron

Gadwall

Collared Dove

Great Black-backed Gull

Stonechat

Skylark

Redwing

Fulmar

Peregrine

and finally, it's GREAT to see our friend Stephen Williams making the financial pages of the broadsheets last week-end.

Apologies for this being a little disjointed but size and shape of the cutting wasn't exactly of the best for scanning - but guess you'll get the gist! Right Click on the image to expand.

and on the same subject, if your looking for a unique 'Little Bauble' for her indoors this Christmas then maybe this is the answer to a prayer? Please don't get one for me as I don't have the cupboard space.










1945 to 2005 – Mouton Rothschild Vertical

"I am always blown away by the 1959...one of the greatest Moutons made...Astonishingly young and unevolved...It is exceptionally powerful and super–extracted...should continue to evolve for another 20–30 years. It may well be a 100–year wine!" – Robert Parker on the 100–point rated 1959.

This is an extended and perfectly preserved vertical of Château Mouton Rothschild. Acquired from the pristine cellars of a noted private collector, this is a consecutive vertical in immaculate condition. Spanning 60 years, the contents include Mouton's greatest vintages of the past century and feature four perfectly rated, 100–point wines. Of particular note are the standout wines produced in 1945, 1947, 1955, 1959, 1961, 1982 and 1986. These are all highly sought–after collectables. The older vintages are especially valuable as the number of surviving specimens worldwide is now severely diminished. Available for immediate global shipping, obtain this extensive vertical by contacting a wine expert today.
