Well here it is - my first ever blog!
The excitement is almost enough to make me chew my own foot off, but fear not, I will contain myself.
The idea here is to write about wine. Drinking wine, buying wine, selling wine, drinking wine, studying wine drinking wine, and so on.
Firstly though, here's some of my background (with a few name-checks thrown in!):
My good ol' dad has always been a wine drinker so I guess I have him to thank for my ever being interested in the first place. Professionally, I started at Oddbins in Dunfermline many moons ago where Paul took me under his wing and showed me the ropes. I've since done some winey work for Sainsbury's, more Oddbins in Edinburgh, a brief stint at Valvona & Crolla and am now at a newly opened winebar/coffee shop/bistro/deli/little bit of everything Berits & Brown at the top of Leith Walk. It's fun, I like it there.
I am studying WSET Advanced at the moment (well, should be, but actually I'm blogging) with Case Studies Wine School and, under the very knowledgeable guidance of Claire Blackler and her crew, I am well on the way to passing my exam in a few weeks time.
Right, enough about me. Here's some links:
