A fair few people in the trade began their wine journey with Oddbins, sad to see the remaining shops close doors.

Quote of day from @ronan_sayburnms co-hosting excellent Oz v NZ chards tasting with @londonvino:
‘I always think great chardonnay looks like frogspawn, big head, thin tail. The attack is big & intense and then they trail off into a very long, fine tail of acidity & minerality.’

Try your local indie. We all have good examples of sub £10 wines. @cambridgewine we have more sub £10 wine than all the wines you'll find in Tesco put together, so enough to try and from all over the world.

Fab visit @RidgeviewWineUK today, tasting with Simon & Mardi as the harvest comes in. Quality of 2020 pinot noir & chards grapes tasting great too. Should be a memorable year, on a couple of counts! And so good to visit a winery again...
