Calling out @wcornwallpasty for selling tepid pasties at E. Croydon Station just now. Originally hot, but cabinet broken. Staff had food safety certificates and knew it was risky, but had been told by management to keep selling. Mine was about 30°c. #foodpoisoning

This is SO true, and so, so funny... (much like everything on the @FakeBooze website). Brilliant, utterly brilliant!

Thanks to lovely @camelwinemaker Sam Lindo for event @YauatchaCity last night. Lovely wines, all so different, & such a great demonstration of how fizz made from Pinot Noir (if it's good enough eg Camel Valley Pinot Noir Rose Brut ) is amazing with dark meats (ie Venison Puffs!)

So sad to miss the start of @ImbibeSWA judging, and can’t wait to taste the medal contenders when I get back. Have a wonderful day of tasting!
It’s finally here... our #SWA2019 judging has begun! Thanks to everyone who entered wine into the competition this year and best of luck! Keep an eye out for live action from the judging over the next 3 weeks 🍾

Definitely a great way to improve your tasting skills, meet other somms, and find new wines to list. @Hakkasan @YauatchaSoho and @sakenohana somms will be there in force @ImbibeSWA Looking forward to it.
Want to judge SWA? There's still time to apply to be a judge. If you're a working sommelier and are free on the 25, 26 February or 4, 5, 11, 12 March, then you should definitely apply https://t.co/IyT4VL1GiH

Thank you @WSETuk It just goes to show, the study does pay off! Working for @HakkasanGroup all these years probably helped a bit too! Thanks for my award, @imbibeuk absolutely thrilled!

Indeed. No-one gave more or was such a great inspiration to the rest of us.
A moment of quiet reflection and a long period of respect is in order for what can truly be called a tragedy for the wine world: the loss to cancer earlier today of Gerard Basset, world's best sommelier in 2010 and a mentor and example to so many

Probably not just @British_Airways that gets this wrong - but it does feel like they get it more wrong much more than other airlines.
Sad: @British_Airways a once-great airline, but too often it simply doesn't deliver any more. I totally get that costs have to be managed, but it costs nothing to spend 30s making someone feel special

Indeed! Looking forward to our unexpected change of venue and good excuse for another lunch soon!
Sorry to hear that @littlebedwyn had their power cut-off by careless workmen. Huge thanks to Sue for redirecting us to @VineyardNewbury. Hope it sorts itself quickly!

If shouting 'Kanpai' is the only thing you know about sake (hey, we're not judging!), then get yourself over to our blog today for a crash course on this tasty Japanese drink... https://t.co/TALnJTOfDg

Head of judging @ChrisWineSake has chosen Ocean Eight 2013 from Mornington Peninsula and Soave, La Rocca, Pieropan 2014 to pair with her turkey Christmas Lunch, as the Pinot Noir has plenty of spice and a good savoury core while the white is fresh enough not to send her to sleep!
