We held our first tasting for Wine Bloggers at The Arch. This powerful new force in our World of Wine cannot - must not - be ignored.
The Company decided therefore that I – a man who has spent 40 years trying to avoid journalists (except for my best friends) – should invite them all round for a Blogtaste.
They are so young! Clearly also amazed that I still more or less still function at my age. 'Gravitas' was one word used in a resulting blog about me. Wow! I always wanted gravitas. Never thought there was a chance. But hey, you hang on long enough you get gravitas. That will impress the kids. I jest.
Also, they clearly think I run this business. I wanted to tell them I don't. And in fact, never have. I wanted to tell them how Barbara keeps me in the attic. And only lets me out if accompanied. But she was right there, hovering, just a short kick away. So I didn't.
They mainly came to try some wines of course. Wines from Turkey, Georgia, Bulgaria and India which we will release shortly. The party seemed to go well. Couldn't resist going round the Arch opening more bottles.
I think there will be more such dos. Look forward to them.
