We had a great evening tasting Armenian wines at @StreathamWine last week. I fell in love with the idea of a 6000-year-old tradition of winemaking from Zorah Wines londonwineblog.co.uk/armenian-wines

We had an amazingly good value #chardonnay last night from the family owned Kleine Zalzer in the South African Cape. Perfect amount of oak and a lovely freshness. We couldn’t believe the price for the quality - £12.49 as part of a case price from the fabulous The Wine Reserve

Well, this was a present and a half - my very favourite wine from the amazing Jim Clendenen. Bought from Bottle Apostle. What a way to toast his life. #wine #jimclendenen #aubonclimat #ChardonnayDay #chardonnay

This was so good and slightly bonkers - a fresh white with a bit of funkiness on the nose and a hint of smoke. From the German Vater & Sohn (father and son), a blend of Bacchus, Muller Thurgau and Sylvaner. Drunk at the fabulous Levan in Peckham #wine #germanwine

A confusing and interesting wine. Athingmill, from Tillingham (it’s an anagram) is red and white, grapes and apples, and combines nearly every grape variety you can imagine (and then adds cider). Tastes amazing, like boozy fruit sherbet. From the brilliant Wine List

This is, without doubt, the best restaurant review I've ever read. And I really, really want to go to Birmingham to eat at Adam's Restaurant after reading it birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/food-…

We had this New Zealand Chardonnay last night from Majestic Wine and it was stunning. Not cheap at £25 but well worth it as an alternative to a bottle of something ordinary in the pub.

Wine club’s lucky dip secret Santa wines this year included a Barossa Shiraz, a Californian Pinot Noir, a Sainte Aubin, a white Priorat and a Grace Koshu Kayagatake from Japan. Can’t wait to try my Tempranillo from Ribeiro del Duero 🍷 #wine #winelover

This white Taganan from Tenerife was really good. You can taste the smoke and saltiness of the volcanic island vines. From the wine store at Salon (we drank it at a table in the store, no corkage, and then bought one to take home) #wine #winelover #taganan

In search of the perfect Chardonnay under £20: this is a contender. 2014 Latitude 41 Moutere Chardonnay from Bottle Apostle. Lovely and buttery with caramel notes. £16.65.

I loved exploring Western Australia’s Margaret River at wine club this week. Here are the wines we tried, all from Jeroboams Pont St. The #Chardonnay from Moss Wood was particularly good. #wine

Twitter wine lovers: I’m on a quest to find really good Chardonnays for less than 20 quid. What do you recommend? #Chardonnay #wine #winelover

We tasted a selection of Margaret River wines last week for Wine Club - the Chardonnay, in particular, stood out. We'll need a bigger budget for the next one sadly... bit.ly/2GL3Lny

We had a fantastic wine tasting of Canadian wines hosted by @travelslowuk last night. This was the stand out wine for me, from Peller Estates in Niagara, Ontario - a sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir with Vidal icewine added at the end. Off dry and gorgeous. #wine #icewine

I was super-excited to hear Vivino founder Heini Zachariassen at #SXSW on the role of technology in wine making and consumption. He was nice enough to let me get a bit fangirl for a photo. #wine #winelover
