Yesterday I spent the day at the London Wine Fair and was, basically, like a kid in a sweet shop. And a really greedy (thirsty?) one at that. It was at Olympia and the room was packed with winemakers and their wines. For years I went to the fair as a supermarket wine buyer and spent most of the time in meetings in sweaty box-rooms looking at spreadsheets. Now I’m able to walk around searching out wine gems, talking to winemakers as I go. And it’s wonderful. In fact, it’s usually talking to the winemaker that really brings a wine to life. This week I’ve picked two wines with amazing people behind them and hope I go some way to telling you their story for them.
Talking of which, I need your permission to keep talking to you in the first place due to new data rules that come into force on Friday. Please can you take a moment to click on the link below if you’d like to continue receiving my blog updates straight to your inbox? Fingers crossed that you do.
