@enterprisecares Picked up @ Hobart airport today something wrong with the car. It's revving high (4000+ at 50kmph) I'm concerned about returning it to the airport. Can someone call me 61 467 960 691 I'd like to drop it at Hobart City tomorrow AM and pick up new vehicle.

@Stansted_Exp I’m trying to use your website on my phone and my laptop

[Joanna Lory @pixelsrcheap]

@Stansted_Exp is there a problem with your website? Trying to book tickets and can’t. Couldn’t last night either

[Joanna Lory @pixelsrcheap]

@timatkin Very well deserved, all their wines are 👌🏻

[Joanna Lory @pixelsrcheap]

@simonjwoolf @LizGabayMW @FelicityCarter You can find the rosé and the white on The Sourcing Table

@simonjwoolf @jamiegoode @terroirmerroir @winescholarguil When I visited Eulogio Pomares once he said: “Green harvesting is a result of poor vineyard work, if you seek balance in the vineyard using natural composts the vines won’t overproduce and you won’t need to do that extra work”.

@bkwineper @SarahAbbottMW @simonjwoolf @winescholarguil and @SashiMoorman has a Syrah vineyard I heard from someone at Dom de la Cote when I was in Cali year before last

@hudin @ruthspivey_ Not required on a wine label and I can’t imagine they’re trying to produce a snapshot of the season or region here!

[Joanna Lory @pixelsrcheap]

@Lynch3 @ruthspivey_ Celebrity endorsement is expensive, and someone had to pay the creative who wrote that inane label 😬

[Joanna Lory @pixelsrcheap]

Hear, hear! The polystyrene also comes from organic wineries or producers claiming to be sustainable. Sustainability is holistic... and don't even get me started on over-chunky bottles...😬

Very funny article by @robertshrimsley @FTMag on the fine snacking balance comfort eating vs. comorbidity

[Joanna Lory @pixelsrcheap]

I wish journalists would stop implying that natural wine has health benefits @tomfball @thetimes there is scant evidence any wine has measurable health benefits, natural is no 'better' in that sense than conventional wines.

[Joanna Lory @pixelsrcheap]

@M_Z_Harrison You can use an empty wine bottle as a rolling pin, we’ve all got a few of those. Anything as a cutter. No marge more challenging...

[Joanna Lory @pixelsrcheap]

@sarahtacp I also think it’s a positive thing to open consumers eyes to how most everyday wine is made. Clue it’s not a weather beaten grandpa picking grapes by hand, basket pressing them into oak barrels, then meticulously hand waxing the bottles 🤫

[Joanna Lory @pixelsrcheap]

@sarahtacp Depends how far you want to take it, and parallels with natural/low intervention debate. Manure use / animals in the vineyard would cut out many organic + biodynamic producers who care deeply about stewardship of their land, a cause close to many vegans’ hearts as well?

Loved the recent Viñateros tasting in London, maybe one of the last big ones for a while. A heartening snapshot of new wave Spain https://t.co/y4rVsB0ugC

[Indigo Wine @indigowine_uk]

Couldn't be more chuffed with @JancisRobinson initial report on @vinaterosLDN "every now and then [a tasting] comes along that really sets UK wine professionals alight" Full article: https://t.co/Mxk469Y3TI

@FelicityCarter Plus the agricultural industry are a very powerful lobby and they will fight this every step of the way, like the oil industry is fighting clean energy and still denying climate change
