We are thrilled to announce a new collaboration with the renowned and respected scientist, wine writer, and guitarist, Dr. Jamie Goode. Each week we will send a couple of bottles of wines from our portfolio for Jamie to taste, and he will film a video of his honest opinions about them. For those who already follow Jamie on Instagram, you know what to expect – a forthright assessment, a British aversion to hype, and an ever-rotating selection of remarkable t-shirts. If you’re not already following him, stop everything and do so right now.
Look for this new video series starting November 1st on Instagram.
Jamie is also interviewing some of our growers about their work which you can find in our News & Events feed, but here is a list of interviews he’s already done:
You can follow Jamie through his own blog at wineanorak.com, on Twitter, and Instagram.
