Who's in for one of the last two places?
Set to be an amazing week filled with discussion, reflection, learning, conviviality, space for your thoughts, amazing food and wine.
Finally 😂🥰
It's just wine at the end of the day.
Lighthearted vicarious fun this week... and introducing my newest wine rating scheme: the Nerdometer™ and the Crushometer®.

Agreed.
Goodness! Sincerely hope the operation went well and there will be some Christmas cheer soon, to make up for this little drama.

Guessing the former, but who knows!
How could you not trust this marketing?
