@Wine_GB Peter is a Hermit and sent Chris his wife to receive the award at Vintners Hall! Thank you to everyone who nominated BB for the award. Grateful for your friendship and support over the years!

[Wines of Great Britain @Wine_GB]

WineGB members were invited to nominate an individual and give their reasons why, some of them below. 2021's Winner, presented at yesterday's WineGB Celebration yielded a resounding number of votes, making him the clear cut choice: Peter Hall of @BreakyBottom_

@BreakyBottom_ @GreatBritWine @HenryButlerWine @ozclarke @CharlestonTrust @DominicBuckwell @trustrameve @rondamuk Does it matter which day it is?

[Breaky Bottom @BreakyBottom_]

@FoodChatMatt @francisgimblett Glad you enjoyed the tasting! We hope to welcome groups for wine tastings soon but meanwhile only visits by appointment to collect wine! @ianpuddick

[Breaky Bottom @BreakyBottom_]

Don't get carried away! Not sure what day it is sometimes! @GreatBritWine @HenryButlerWine @thewinesinger @ozclarke @CharlestonTrust @DominicBuckwell @thewinesinger @trustrameve @rondamuk

@Hoschti_ @RonanRafferty89 @loveemyhats @BreakyBottom_ @MatthewSJukes Genius, polymath, ultimate guru Peter Hall @Hoschti_ eh? @BreakyBottom_

I was probably about 12, she came to our school and I couldn’t have been less interested in meeting a not particularly famous lady. I have literally never forgotten meeting her.

[Matthew Williams @FoodChatMatt]

Fantastic cheese and wine tasting with the irrepressible @francisgimblett to start the weekend. It was fascinating to hear from @BreakyBottom_'s Peter Hall while sampling a couple of his elegant wines. Hope to visit the vineyard one day soon. 🍇

Glad you enjoyed the 2010 Chard/Pinot Reynolds Stone - he designed our first logo and label!

[Oz Clarke @ozclarke]

This is how I’m starting my #BEWE but it certainly won’t be the last. It’ll help me choose the next ones - Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Bucks or Essex? Or the whole lot? Why not? My brother’s in my bubble and we’ve got a socially-distanced wall we can perch on...

[Breaky Bottom @BreakyBottom_]

We are looking forward to tasting this. Would be nice to be able to share a bottle with friends soon.

[Great British Wine @GreatBritWine]

Happy #BigEnglishWineEaster everyone! I've popped open the delicious @DermotSugrue Cuvée Boz while I take a brief commercial break in between #BEWE Live chats. This is an energetic, pure BdB that pairs beautifully with salmon sashimi tonight.

@BreakyBottom_ built - 1827. Peter's 1st wife Diana worked with Peggy Angus who lived at 'Furlongs'-close friend of Ravilious-they created beautiful ceramics and wall paper designs together.@NTHepburn @CharlestonTrust @loveemyhats @corneyandbarrow @andrewcjefford @ozclarke

[Stephen Skelton @spskelton]

That looks so very much like @BreakyBottom_ Vineyard at nearby Rodmell.

[Breaky Bottom @BreakyBottom_]

The bottle looks equisite - such wonderful way to honour such a special brother. @HenryButlerWine @EmmaCRice @blackbirdOlivia

[The IEWA @theIEWA]

Seriously notable new release from previous @theIEWA trophy winner @DermotSugrue... 🥂🔥 #englishwine

So sorry! We booked a table with @HenryButlerWine + Cassie last year but Lock Down came and it wasn't possible.Hope you can open up again in a new venue one day! @FourthAndChurch @EnglishWineBox @blackbirdOlivia @InglisHall @DominicBuckwell

[Breaky Bottom @BreakyBottom_]

Hard to choose! Glad you enjoyed @BreakyBottom_ but you should have a bottle with our new branding! Tastes even better! @GiganticCreates @MatthewSJukes @trustrameve @rosemurraybrown @smartpeachfuzz

[Joseph Arthur @jarthur09]

Only one word: Fab-u-lous😋 Thanks for the recommendation ⁦@DermotSugrue⁩ ⁦⁦@BreakyBottom_⁩ ⁦@MatthewSJukes⁩

[Breaky Bottom @BreakyBottom_]

Great to celebrate 2 of the most influential women from great vineyards established in the early days of UK wine!

[Great British Wine @GreatBritWine]

A new #EnglishWine book is always something to look forward to. A pleasure to receive this pre release copy of Liz Sagues new new 'Sussex by the Glass', releasing on 8th March to celebrate International Women's Day, focusing on @Bolneyestate & @RidgeviewWineUK. More next week.

[Breaky Bottom @BreakyBottom_]

Thanks Libby! Glad you enjoyed @BreakyBottom_ and Peter! By the way he is a true hermit. Still labelling each bottle himself keeps him busy! @GreatBritWine @InglisHall
@DermotSugrue @ianpuddick @TweetaDean @ozclarke

[Smartpeachfuzz @smartpeachfuzz]

@BreakyBottom_ Groundbreaking and set the standard. Current offerings still the best example and bargains for such finesse and quality.

[Breaky Bottom @BreakyBottom_]

Wow, Looks delicious, Is it a takeaway? Don’t expect they would deliver down our muddy track? @InglisHall @DermotSugrue @sussexuncorked @trustrameve @loveemyhats @EnglishWineBox @GreatBritWine

[DrMermaidXHeadteacher🧜‍♀️ @doc_mermaid]

Lovely Valentine’s Day meal thanks to The Mermaid in Rottingdean, @ButlersWine and @BreakyBottom_
