Picnic emergency
If you happen to find yourself out and about on a day in early March where the sun is shining and it���s warm enough to eat outside you just have to declare a ���picnic emergency���. That may not be a legal requirement, yet, but if I ruled the world it would be, or at least of ���snow day��� status.
In such an emergency Marks and Spencer is perfect for grabbing sandwiches, salads, smoothies, fruit, curious cured pork products and snack sized bottles of wine.
I had a Gargenega Pinot Grigio del Veneto 2005. Oddly it was bottled for a French negociant but hey, that added a wider European feel to lunch. It was pale, but it was in a plastic cup so any colour would be fine. It smelled lightly floral with some citrus fruit. It was dry with a crisp acidity, light in body with a reasonable hit of fruit above the acid.
For a snack sized bottle of wine it was fine, good even from a plastic cup and it fought off the diesel fumes well. 250ml is quite a big serving, I certainly wouldn���t want to drive after a bottle at 12%, but it added an even warmer glow to the first spring like day of the year.
