Wine is not a drug. Wine is food and has been part of the Western diet for many centuries, feeding us well. Don't buy into the prohibitionist balderdash. Wine is not hard liquor.

Erik Burgess 🇳🇿🍷🥂 M&S Dave Cronin Joni Karanka SolicitingFlavours Tim Needham Paul Courtney Tim Carlisle Tim Milford Winetimelondon Owen Morgan shupal Always feel very conflicted about these things Erik:

- short-term bargain
- lack of consumer interest
- reality of market forces
- impoverishment of general UK food & drink scene
- sympathy for producers

Another bargain found at M&S today. Really is sad and disappointing to see another Sherry being delisted. Dave Cronin Joni Karanka SolicitingFlavours Tim Needham Paul Courtney Tom Lewis Tim Carlisle Tim Milford Winetimelondon Owen Morgan shupal

Hopefully see some of you there!

Great, classic, delightful Rioja for €16.50. Who else can do that? Well, trust López de Heredia. 2016 Viña Cubillo.

Great article here for those thinking of visiting #Rioja . You might also consider visiting #BodegasObalo , where I will show you round in person and will explain the real nuts and bolts of #winemaking , e.g. tasting straight from barrel, blending options etc - plus amazing views.

First @tiopepewine en rama of the 2024 season. Darker colour than the 23 iteration, with a really applely nose. Almonds and bag loads of salinity on the palate. Nice :)

Please read and share!

The month of May brings us fresh, dark fruit flavours from Pepe Mendoza with his Casa Agricola Tinto🍷

Casa Agricola is a very personal project launched alongside his wife Pepa Agullo. The project has a strong focus on local and Mediterranean grape varieties.
