Château Bonnet

Sometimes, a wine can be just uncomplicatedly good. Retailing at 69 SEK at Systembolaget, a half bottle of Château Bonnet Blanc was exactly what I needed for dinner tonight.

After creating the quiz below using ChatGPT, I asked for dinner suggestions based on the xml-file that contains every blog post I have written since 2006. Among the many tantalizing ideas, I went for red pepper bulgur with pomegranate and mint (next time, I will go all in with the Turkish Airlines classic: bulgur pilaf). Sadly, we were out of Greek yoghurt, so I had to brutalize the dish somewhat with the last of the bearnaise that I had bought for Anna’s brother.

In just over a month, my dad and I will take the train to Hamburg, where we will board the Queen Mary 2.  I have already read up on the sample menus to get a sense of what awaits us – if nothing else, to keep me motivated through those long kilometres at night during Halland Ultra-Beach. As we get closer, I will share more about the trip and what to expect aboard, as that may depend a bit on whether my shameless £60 bid for a Queen’s Grill upgrade goes through.
