Certainly not Matt. It looks like a definition cobbled together by a committee. What happened to provenance?…DG

[Matt Walls @mattwallswine]

Would you agree with this…? 🤔

A rather special tasting of Cepparello going back to 2006, all under Stelvin ⁦@TheRiverCafeUK⁩ followed by a superb lunch. DG

Fully deserved Greg. DG

@GregoryPatriat Tres bien méritées Gregory. DG

@giowinearpaia I’m afraid not.

A piece of history - 1985 Brunello Riserva. Outstanding, with the rich fruit but lovely acid of this great Tuscan vintage.

[David Gleave @DavidGleave56]

A great piece Giles. DG

I’m not sure where Lord Agnew’s head has been if he thinks firms have had their heads in the sand. If only the government were as well prepared as most businesses.

And so it begins. The disaster will be the fault of *everyone* except the people who swore blind it wouldn't be a disaster...

[David Gleave @DavidGleave56]

@Alleyn_Club @DulwichCollege Wow! Never seen that before

[David Gleave @DavidGleave56]

A lot of competition for this crown Joe but Barolo is always among the most beautiful. It helps that the wines are brilliant and the food is outstanding...DG

[Joe Fattorini @joefattorini]

Barolo is the most beautiful vineyard area in the world. I will brook no dissent

La Rocca 2002 in magnum opened to celebrate the 18th birthday of my youngest son. It was still fresh and lively and delicious. DG

[David Gleave @DavidGleave56]

Laticieres on the right, Le Chambertin on the left. Special land. DG

[David Gleave @DavidGleave56]

Young and taut yet delicious. DG

[David Gleave @DavidGleave56]

Not a bad lunch to celebrate the beginning of the end of lockdown. 99 La Tache was effortlessly brilliant. DG

[David Gleave @DavidGleave56]

Lockdown Pinots. Three distinctive and diverse Kiwi wines. DG

[David Gleave @DavidGleave56]

A lovely piece.

Everyone at Farr Vintners is heartbroken to hear about the passing of our great friend Denis Durantou. Denis was a wonderful, generous man & without doubt one of the greatest winemakers in the world. You can read Stephen Browett's piece about Denis here:

A Brunello masterclass last night from three outstanding producers. Elegance and balance were the defining characteristics of the wines. DG

[David Gleave @DavidGleave56]

Absolutely. And a lovely man. DG
