Quoting after @teamdb.bsky.social, Richard Hemming MW describes it as “the definitive story of Jancis’s life so far”, a chronicle not only of her professional ascent but also of the people and passions that made it possible.

We ordered a bottle of Champagne. The staff flocked to our table to witness - "noone ever buys it", they said. "I never opened one, can I do it?", another waiter seconded. Little stories like this can make a place memorable, even if for the strangest of reasons. It was a lovely evening.

Achieving the Weinakademiker title and the WSET Diploma encouraged me to make a personal website about my wine stuff and collate everything under a single brand for the future. I also finally have some space to post my English writings that never fit anywhere before. I invite you to mati/wine ☺️

A group of four Polish wineries (Turnau, Jassa, Julo and Vogard) has just announced submitting the paperwork toward establishing the first Polish PGI for wines of the Lower Oder Valley (Dolina Dolnej Odry). This has been on the grapevine for a while now, but apparently is now in the motion.
