I'm going to be doing a virtual wine tasting next Thursday evening (17th) with fees going to @decappeal
After much contemplation whether our virtual wine-tasting with @BestyMike MW (pic) & @nywines will go ahead, we've decided to proceed. The focus have shifted from celebration to community, inline with the global tone. Registration fees will be donated to @decappeal .

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

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.

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/th…
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/england…

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…

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. – at South East, England

I’d like to thank @RobinHutson , @atkinson_mw and @BestyMike for the priceless support. I hope you’ll be my tasting chums for the next few years! @mastersofwine @selejane_89

Some people seem keen to knock English wine - others, like Robin Hutson & the 1,500-strong team at The Pig hotels are doing just the opposite: celebrating the stuff & the scene, selling it by the bucket load & even planting their own vineyard...cheers to that, I say 😀🥂🙏💥

Wonderful espaliered apple tree in the magnificent kitchen garden of @The_Pig_Hotel in the South Downs. Great English wine dinner last night, with great food, delicious wines and attentive service. Hotel opens for real next Monday, 6 Sept. @Wine_GB
