@BritishBakeOff Jurgen is the biggest Bake Off star ever - whether or not he made it to the final. You just know he’ll get his own show in the future. And we’ll all be watching!!!

Really truffle oil? Ok, so it’s having a foodie moment, but truffles are a classic not a trend. I adore GR, but this is truly truffle crazy talk. #foodie #gordonramsay #truffles https://t.co/yGSipIB1xa via @foodandwine

Not panicking - yet. New #wineregions will emerge/grow but what about quality, volume, governance etc.? ( On second thought, time to panic!) #climatechange #winelaws #wine https://t.co/20lqTpqTNb

Good thinking! https://t.co/FOJ7JErxlL

Yes, you can see how seriously they're taking the task of leaf-pulling. A #GreatSommDay with leaf-plucking conducted by committee. I'm guessing that the labor cost attributed to the wine made in that plot will be excruciatingly expensive this year 😄 https://t.co/kVN3psOd0m

Wine preferences come and go. But a well-balanced, high-acid wine will never be out of style. https://t.co/FKZFSNpjm7 via @VinePair

@winewankers It used to, but now, if it’s too close to bedtime I wake up in the middle of the night. Kinda like what this article was saying. It’s a slight bummer ( I know - this is a first world problem 😛.)

RIP Willow. I’m sure you had a fabulous life. https://t.co/e2VpUemcNR

Why might a waiter hand you a #cork for inspection? It goes back to a time when bottles didn't always have labels. But corks were often stamped with the name of the #winery. It was a simple way to ensure authenticity. #wineeducation

@vino_sphere @ClosduBois @Sonomagrapes @SonomaChat CDB Marlstone is always a winner - very consistent. I opened a 2006 just last weekend and it was like velvet.

Happy Spring Day! #Budbreak begins with increased springtime temps. Carbohydrates in the roots rise to the trunk & canes & provide needed nutrients to the bursting buds. One step closer to #wine.TIME LAPSE: Bud Break from @DirtDontLie https://t.co/MkBiiXqSEe
