Wine Baby

by Caspar Bowes

16 September 2009

Isabella was fascinated by Victoria's tasting of a glass of chewy South American Tannat earlier this afternoon, so V dipped her finger into the glass and gave it to Isabella - aged 11 months - to suck. A moment of deep thought passed. Presumably she was trying to assess whether it was an Old World or a New World sample.

We've been teaching Isabella sign language and never before has it been more apparent that she is picking it up. After a moment's cogitation, she raised both her hands, fingertips together, and patted them together repeatedly: a gesture that loosely translates as, "More, more, more".

So...robust reds for baby, at least for the time being!
