I'm going to be doing a virtual wine tasting next Thursday evening (17th) with fees going to @decappeal

Congratulations to Justin Martindale MW and Jonny Orton MW - the two new Masters of Wine! mastersofwine.org/news/two-new-m… #mastersofwine

Backgammon by candlelight @The_Pig_Hotel in the South Downs. No better place to be power cut and trapped by wind (and that’s just the pork). My favourite hotels and you won’t find a lovelier staff anywhere on Earth. Thank you xx

@atkinson_mw Can I use the phrase for an MW practical?

And while I’m on the Piedmont theme…another fine 2016. Nebbiolo is like a woodland walk: dank hollows; bark; fallen fruit and leaves; nuts; shafts of light, but mostly shade and shadow.

The irrepressible 2016 Piedmont vintage meets @coopuk. Really harmonious. Leave for +5years. £20. Just bought another x6 bts

Bob was kind enough to have me on the fantastic @big_vin_theory podcast. We covered a range of topics, using past MW exam questions as a rough guide. If you haven't already, be sure to check out his past episodes. Lots of great insights from impressive guests.

@RobinHutson @UKHospKate @MasterInnH @ParkPlazaHotels Congratulations, Robin. If you’re in London today, @liberty_wines are hosting their annual portfolio tasting.

Thanks @UKHospKate feelings mutual thanks @MasterInnH and thank you @ParkPlazaHotels Riverside - Love my view

Is the acquisition of Bolney to Freixenet good or bad for the English wine industry?

New series of @big_vin_theory kicking off with @x_chateau Robert & Peter. Geeks Unite. Essential. open.spotify.com/episode/2uIcgC…

The Business of English Wine, part 2 - Lisse Garnett interviews @RobinHutson whose chain of restaurants with rooms @The_Pig_Hotel have championed English wine, and sell a LOT - so much insight here wineanorak.com/2021/10/19/the…

And...here we are! Available for download now. Notes and scores on 250+ wines, background, editorial and awards - what I hope is one of the most comprehensive reports into English wine so far. timatkin.com/product/englan…

Our newest PIG in West Sussex has been open for almost a month! We have been overwhelmed with the support since swinging our doors open 🚪 – a BIG thank you! If you haven’t managed to have a peek around our new patch, here’s an inside look at THE PIG-in the South Downs…

@Mairead_Robyn @The_Pig_Hotel @atkinson_mw Sláinte - let’s raise a Guinness!

It’s been quite a day so far! Our opening day for @The_Pig_Hotel #SouthDowns we’re ecstatic to be finally open. First grapes 2022! In addition to this, I’m honoured, relieved and frankly terrified of the incredible journey I’m starting today, the master of wine study programme.

@SarahAbbottMW @The_Pig_Hotel @atkinson_mw Thank you, Sarah! Super stoked. Hope to speak soon.

@Luke_Harbor @The_Pig_Hotel @atkinson_mw Congratulations and good luck Luke. Enjoy the journey!

@atkinson_mw @SarahAbbottMW @The_Pig_Hotel @bbcstrictly Two left feet (fathers side). Although, if @REISS are supplying the velvet, I’m there.

@SarahAbbottMW @Luke_Harbor @The_Pig_Hotel He could be the first MW to do @bbcstrictly

@dnkrbywine @The_Pig_Hotel @atkinson_mw Look forward to working together at some stage, Dan!

@Luke_Harbor @The_Pig_Hotel @atkinson_mw Awesome stuff Luke. Bring it on.
