More wine publishing news as @hawk_wakawaka departs her role amid restructuring detailed in adweek.com/media/recurrent-v… Wishing Elaine the best seems unnecessary as we know she is the best at the type of work she does. Instead, will say: looking forward to your next ventures!

Today’s #bookmail contained a special treat from the UK. Visited @Sotherans often on trips to London. Been awaiting @deathbybadger writings about what I believe to be my dream job. Cannot wait to read his account of the rare book trade!

Considering confirmation bias whereby favored/fashionable grapes/regions are judged by the best examples produced and the disfavored/unfashionable are judged by worst examples. Might get brought up at #texsom.
