@jayrayner1 Totally agree with your sentiments about dogs & owners. We have excluded ourselves from our local, small, proper coffee shop for same reason. It's even worse when the dogs start barking at each other.

This week’s review: the Parakeet, Kentish Town, where the food is great and the staff lovely. But if the pro dog policy stays, and I risk experiencing frottage from the arse-end of a bulldog again I sadly won’t be returning. Have some low calorie outrage. theguardian.com/food/2023/jun/…

Choc & wine matching @Bhamwineschool Highbury Theatre. Thank you everyone. Next event @ Highbury 9th Aug. Come and see us.

Lovely, lively evening @Bhamwineschool last night. @New Hall Hotel Sutton Coldfield is proving a great venue. Join us soon?

@annemchale @BeaujolaisUK Thank you for the presentation, Anne. It was interesting to taste the nuances of difference in the cru wines.

A pleasure to present this gorgeous @BeaujolaisUK line-up to the delightful #wine trade of #Birmingham. Very friendly bunch and they loved the wines. Next chance to taste - 10th June in #London 🍷

@WestLondonWine Let's (let us)

Come on team - let’s do this!

First ⁦@Bhamwineschool⁩ wine tasting evening ⁦@highburytheatre⁩ officially declared a success!

@LizParry1 @Bhamwineschool @highburytheatre Thanks, Liz. I'm delighted everyone enjoyed it. Thanks to you and Highbury Theatre. Here's to the next one. Geoff

@WestLondonWine Used to be an English teacher, sorry. Old habits .....

@geoffwine Whoops!

@Nottswineschool @WestLondonWine Oh dear. Does it show?

@geoffwine @WestLondonWine 😂 once a teacher........!😬

@MicheleCherutti @purechablis Thanks for a great tasting in Birmingham today. Good presentation, Michelle

Birmingham here I come! The first stop on the 2019 tour. Can hardly wait to taste some amazing Chablis tomorrow! @purechablis #oneofakind

Sutton night @Bhamwineschool Cabernet evening. Napa Cellars & Ch. d'Esurac top two wines. Audience really involved - thanks.

@jamiegoode Still have problems with finding stock that is well reviewed. National adverts in press but no stock in local branches. Very frustrating.

Reasonably well off commentators forget that for the vast majority of consumers, £10 is a lot to spend on a bottle of wine, when there are still sub-£5 wines on the shelves

@geoffwine Hi Geoffrey, sorry to hear of your disappointment. Our wines are very popular and subject to availability. We apologise for any frustration caused.

@LidlUK Appreciate the reply. Are your buyers underestimating the demand or sourcing from suppliers who are not able produce enough? Aren't these some of the basic rules of purchasing? If you go to the @TheWineSociety Community website you'll see many comments about Lidl's wine stocking.

@LidlUK Do your wine reviewers actually check if wines are in store? It's repeatedly frustrating - but now comic - story. Wine well reviewed; like to try it; local store has no stock. Lidl surprise.

Arg & Chile @Bhamwineschool Hol Inn Friday. Lots of interesting wines and people. Good discussion. Looking forward to USA & South Africa on Fri.

@andyhurst67 @Bhamwineschool Thanks Andy

@EvaGomezJimenez @Bhamwineschool You were great company - keep in touch, please. I might make it to Galicia. Promise I'll upgrade the Spanish map.

@Bhamwineschool Very happy to have spent with you these 8-weeks course! Thank you so much!!
