Certainly not winning lid of the year but nonetheless felt like a big day two weeks ago. Thanks to all who have supported the journey so far 🙏 @ London, United Kingdom instagram.com/p/CePNZfRtu5M/…
@food_writer Went in July - Ca Pepico and Tavella are a little out of town but both spectacular - especially the remarkably generous wine list mark ups
Sam Allardyce: “There’s nobody ahead of me in football terms.
“Not Pep, not Klopp, not Arteta. In terms of knowledge and depth of knowledge up there with them, I’m not saying I’m better than them.” ⚪️ #LUFC
@timatkin Pax Mahle is the flagbearer for the Northern Rhone style - Jolie Laide also very good. Maybe Bionic Frog represents US better on international stage but £££
US Twitter friends. I’m helping to organise a South Africa Syrah against the world tasting. Which wines should I track down from the United States? I’m a bit out of touch. Qupé still good? Wind Gap? Legier Meredith? Anything from Washington? Cayuse?
@arseblog@gunnerblog Are we as a club taking the siege mentality too far? Feels like more often we have to look at ourselves rather than blame referees or external influences
Just been invited to a free pour tasting and masterclass by a Greek regional body. Sounds great! The catch: because of politics they can’t tell us the identity of any of the 40 wines. Ridiculous. 🇬🇷 🤔
Champagne house releases new eco box. How about doing away with unnecessary gift boxes altogether? Ban them: that would be showing commitment to the environment!
Getting ready for my review of premium rosés for Decanter. Last time the lower limit was 25 euros. The world has changed somewhat and now looking for rosés over 45 euros/££
Contact me if you know of good premium rosés /want to submit a wine for a tasting.
