What does it mean? It's a wedding cake in France - a tower of profiteroles, set with caramel. It seemed a good idea in 1978, when we opened our restaurant.

ADIEU AND THANK YOU

We have sold wine online for nearly a decade, and sold wine for getting on 40 years since 1972. But the time came to stop early in 2011. Not because of we lost interest in wine or lack of business; just ‘cos I’ve got too old to hump the boxes. A pallet of 56 dozen arrives at my store, and I find it hard work now, stacking it all away!

 

I am still involved with wine, advising and putting together wine lists for clients. Two major customers currently, are the The Walnut Tree and Angel Hotel, both at Abergavenny in Wales. I still look after their wine, maintaining their lists.

 

What I’m not doing, is physically handling the wine anymore. Which raises the question, what do we personally drink now? Will we have to actually buy wine in a shop? No, because I buy online, and do recommend Naked Wines in Norwich. We sincerely thank all our wine customers over the years. It was a pleasure to serve you,

 

Salut, Robin Jones, May 2012.

 

N.B. A major part of my work in recent years has been creating websites, and that work continues to grow. I am not planning on retiring! More on design and web stuff at www.croque.co.uk
