Looks good according to this taster. Have a good day when you do open it.

Crémant de Bourgogne
Like most major wine regions in the world, Burgundy makes a sparkling wine, Crémant de Bourgogne. It is a great shame that the sparkling wines of Burgundy are not better known, because the quality is exceptional. If you've ever been disappointed by Champagne, try some Crémant de Bourgogne - it's a revelation. It's also better and cheaper. It's made using the "Méthode Traditionelle" - the same way wines are made in Champagne - but because these wines don't originate from the Champagne region, you don't pay the premium associated with the name. Good Crémant de Bourgogne wines are every bit as good as Champagne, but cost considerably less.

On my round they are a few ex-miners and they all came out and congratulated me on the days back after the strikes. Once even came down to the picket line to show solidarity.

On other customers, well as its a working class area most were in support, or said they were when I explained our position, the few that did not were more worried about their Giros.

Quite a few of my customers have doubled up on the tips they gave me last year ( I was on there after starting in Sevenoaks from October - it had been a training walk ), which is nice - I doubt the IA has affected it too much....even when it was a pain waiting for something to turn up, they tended to be sympathetic to our cause. :nana
