Big news is coming… currently quite small news, with some live events (suitable for beginners) head-to-head pre tastings for some rugby games. Invite some friends and open some bottles! Www.annaspoonerwine.com #wine #winetasting

I’m very excited (and nervous) to share my piece for @FTMag - the fears, the frantic revision and occasionally a dose of fun… the MW programme is all about the people, so thank you everyone who shaped my journey so far! Let’s keep getting back in the saddle!
ā€˜The word ā€œmasterā€ suggests that the MW programme is akin to a post-graduate degree, but I suspect it’s nothing like it. There is no career path that makes it easy to ā€œmasterā€ the entire ecosystem of wine,’ says @AnnaSpooner on.ft.com/3OR9wUH

So sad to hear of Phil Tuck MW’s passing. He was always incredibly generous with his time and knowledge. Disciplined but decorous, hard nosed but soft hearted. I have a lot to thank him for and the world is a lesser place tonight. Having a glass for you Phil @mastersofwine
