– What were the Challenges?
– How well did the producers respond?
– Just how good are the wines ?
– Where are the sweet spots
– And what about prices…?

Which is now a very warm front, after the recent cold snap. Another White Christmas goes begging. Mind you, my Christmas will be both red and white, with a little port thrown in, as well as bubbles.

I have finally finished all my tastings of the 2021 vintage and am completing writing up all the notes. Despite the short harvest, I shall be bringing you just about as many notes as last year, to help you make your choices as merchants start to offer the 2021 vintage for sale.

Webinar on the 2021 vintage: Wednesday 4th January  @ 6pm GMT
