Wine people – just a heads up about a walkaround PIWI tasting at The Wine Cellars in Fulham, London on Weds 18th June 10AM-4PM Curious about fungus-resistant grape varieties (PIWIs) sustainability, or just want to taste some really interesting wines, come along. Let me know if you want a place.

People enjoying a bottle of Bordeaux seems to be filling my timeline at the moment.

The benefits of a much closer relationship with the rest of Europe dwarf any deal with India or Trump. It’s time to get serious with the EU and consign Brexit era dogmas to the dustbin of history. 🇪🇺👍

Still quite gutted this didn’t get the recognition it deserved. It’s my birthday people!! If you need it explaining….

I’m going to have another moan. One of the most intriguing semi finals you could hope for in snooker, and BBC decide to put John Virgo and Shaun Murphy on to jibber jabber all over it like a couple of fools.

Some excellent snooker these past few days. Shame BBC still have certain commentators. Last frame of the Williams Higgins match was almost ruined. "WHERE'S THE CUE BALL......" oh do piss off.

AI art can jump in the sea. Life is beauty

People should stop using AI generated images to illustrate their Substack articles. They look really very bad and reflect badly on the writer. If you feel it’s ok to chuck a sentence into a machine to spit out a bad picture how do we know you haven’t used it to generate the writing too.

So it’s very difficult to do a full set of crunches when Coco thinks it’s a game.

Listen to Lisa O’Neill. If you don’t know already, prepare to be emotionally barged.

What perfect albums came out when you were 16?

I never thought that when I set up a winery one of the things that I would spend most time thinking about would be cardboard boxes.
