Riesling with sausage

The Riesling which had been bought on the occasion noticed at reference 1 was dealt with a week or so ago. I felt sure that I have had wine from these people before, but my first search only produced a botanic one at reference 2. Deploying the archive, my second search reached further back, to 2014 at reference 3, the days when we used to buy wine in Bridge Street across the road from Hampton Court Palace, in the course of a relationship with Gewürztraminer, something we still drink from time to time. Quite a long time ago now, but the domaine website is still there, if rather more whizzy than I remember. Notwithstanding, the series for this particular wine stops at 2017, about which it says: 'the robe is lemon yellow with light green reflections of good intensity. The disk is bright, limpid and transparent. The wine shows youth'. Tasted OK to us, whatever.

Taken with another sausage stew, not much more than a couple of weeks since the last one. With the key ingredient being saucisson sec from Bastides, out of Waitrose. Including, as has become the custom, fresh potato rather than left over potato.

While for dessert, we polished of a new-to-us cake which had been assembled for some ladies that don't lunch. Assembled, as it happens, in the wrong order, due to some distraction or other, but which worked out well enough. A variation on the Dorset apple cake widely sold in the West Country.
