Juice…


“Blame it on my juice, baby blame it on my juice”


Taking the Renfe R4 train line took us out of the metropolis for €6.10 and into the more accustomed rural wine region of ‘Penedes’. This area, notable for the production of an impressive 95% of Spain’s Cava, meant that the obvious thing to do was to stay in the middle of a vineyard. Magnus & Marta had the very place. 


The DO (Denominación de Origen) for a wine is its identity, and the grapes used to make this amber nectar need to come from said place. They also need to be of good quality so that’s where I step in…Maccabeo grapes🍇. Obviously named after the great wine aficionado, ‘Garybaldi ‘of Aldi’ Maccabeo’, founder of said grape and knowledge of all things vino, a pioneer, troubadour fashionista and swashbuckling debutante around these parts.

Not wanting to blow my own trumpet (PARP!) but Iv found my roots and they ain’t courgette, do u know wot  I’m sayin’?


“I’m like Chardonnay, get better over time,

Heard you say I’m not the baddest bitch, you lie”




As the afternoon sun came over the yard-arm, it was time to lather up the Cillit Bang 💥 and enjoy a glass of bubbles by the pool.



Today’s accompaniment comes from US hip-hop rapper and good time gal ‘Lizzo’ with unlimited positivity and boundless energy, you can’t help having a smile and a jig to this…
