I mocketh not , I spent 37 years as a Brewer of Note and definitely had lunatic leanings
I had the honour of being the Brewmaster of the Newlands, Cape Town Brewery in South Africa

That looks delicious, mmmmmmmm.
Cool job. Legend.
My buddy and I used to get together once a month to taste a dozen different beers, he took it seriously and would make notes. He is now a brewer at 4 Pines in Manly NSW, specialising in barrel aged beers.
The 4 Pines Keller Door beers are blowing my mind. Do you still enjoy your brews?
I loved the job , y only real one for my whole career bar a few starters , Pork Pies and Crisps !!
Unfortunately age has crept up and I have had ankle replacement surgery so I had to lose loads of weight to protect the new joint (38 kg so far !!! and still another 10 to go …) beer along with any other carbs was the first casualty , but it will return some time soon I hope
I allow myself one glass of red wine a day , quite a comedown !!

It’s yummy indeed! 
Didn’t know 100% cabernet franc wines existed. I love this one, very earthy and floral (violets). My wife however doesn’t like it very much. Ah well, I can live with that

Sat here in Crete in total jealousy, can’t wait to get back to UK where real cheese is available 
Haha, it’s not exactly a punishment, to have to resort to Greek food and wine!

try some cab franc from Napa or Washington State. the grape makes a very different wine there, delicious, but much bigger and richer.

As others have “suggested” Greek (Cretan) wine is very “missable.” Unfortunately I couldn’t avoid it on a couple of occasions. You’ll be pleased to hear that, having been back in the UK for 3 weeks, I’m fully recovered
