Wine - the most prestigious and the most valuable of drinks and also most intimately linked to human endeavour - begins its journey in humble ways. Today @ampelidaewines the first fruit samples were brought in for analysis ahead of harvest. When deciding on a date to start harvesting the wine maker will consider sugar content, titratable acidity, and pH. All of these parameters change during the growing season. Without sugar, no alcohol. Without acidity, no structure or ageing potential. The Foss mini lab instantly analyses these values but a good old refractometer remains the quickest and most reliable way to establish sugar levels and therefore the potential abv in the eventual #wine @wset_school_london @wsetglobal #fossanalytical #fossanalytics #loirevalley #vindeloirevinsdeloire #hautpoitou #hautpoitou #frenchsauvignonblanc #sauvignonblanc #pinotnoir #chardonnay

Coming to the end of “le nettoyage” - a week of hard, arduous work for the small team cleaning every hose, every tank, every bolt ahead of harvest. Le plus gros tuyau is a monster to manipulate.

@ampelidaewines not so much calm before the storm, rather the focused calm in the run-up to the frenzy of harvest. St Vincent, patron saint of vineyard workers, watches over four generations of tanks - the original built-in stone tanks, stainless steel, concrete egg & clay amphorae. The task today: nettoyage!!! Serious power water hosing and scrubbing down. It didn’t spoil the serene vibe of the guests on a dance & Pilates retreat with @movingwithellyn #chateaulesroches #loirevalley #sauvignonblanc #hautpoitousauvignonblanc

Domaine Ampelidae, just outside Marigny-Brizay, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of western France and part of the arrondissement of Poitiers, will be my home for the rest of the month. Working in the “chai” with the estate’s wine making team will put to practice some of last term’s @wset_school_london Diploma course - the chemistry & technique of wine making. As a yeast nerd I look forward to it very much! Ampelidae make all categories of wine; still white, still red, rosé and traditional method sparkling wine from their close to 100ha of vines, I will learn a lot! Meanwhile, @cambridgecookery awesome team will power through a very busy September @wset_school_london @ampelidaewines #winemaking #harvest #loire #poitiers #nouvelleaquitaine #winemakingprocess #vendange

Looks fantastic
Most of us chefs here know a lot about nutrition, eat food cooked from scratch and extol the virtues of home made food. We shun processed food. We took part and were riveted! Personal mapping of gut biome, understanding of how well - or not - we process sugar and fat has been nothing short of revolutionary for us all.

Fish classes give control and confidence! You can’t assess freshness or quality from a fillet. Eyes and gills are your main indicators #fishclass #fishcooking #freshfish #cookery #cookeryclasses #cookeryschools @thefinboys ... See MoreSee Less
