Yup, I'm on my way back to Blighty this evening, I'm excited.
Apparently, it is 'British Spirits and Sparkling Wine Week' in the U.S.A., it is a shame I'll miss some of it. I received a nice email (from Shari Mesulam, I don't know her) that informed me that October 22nd to 28th is a celebratory week of campaigning by the British government (you'd think they'd have more important stuff to do), as part of their 'Food is GREAT' showcase. In the email, I learned that "whisky is the largest food and drink global export for the United Kingdom, and the United States is the largest export market for both British Gin and English Sparkling Wine." I could find neither aforementioned tipples in the pantry, so I had to make do with an old bottle of Vinomaker's Drambuie. It's the spirit that counts, titter, titter. So I'm going to export myself over to Blighty and hopefully do some catching up with the English bubbles bit.
Get back JoJo!

VG, never saw an English bubbly.
Have a great visit.
See you soon!
Dennis, English sparkling is the one wine we do well, very well so you will have to try some oneday.
NHW: I bet you could fine one on the east coast easier than I could over in the west.
Thud: Always look forward to seeing the clan.
