Our esteemed Wine Manager, aka ‘Tremendous Dave’ will be retiring later this year. We’ll be looking for a replacement with knowledge and power in the near future, so please drop me a line @ [email protected] if you think you know/are a good fit! #winejobs

Any emergency funds for Cheshire restaurants @Go_CheshireWest ? For restaurants, Tier 2 = Tier 3-(any support whatsoever). 130 cancellations this week x 30% usual bookings next week = unviable x misery.

Any Indies out there had any success with Sake? Not sure if Sandiway’s ready, but considering bringing in a proper range of styles and qualities, alongside some weird seaweed etc for the deli. If you’re a ‘punter’ would you give them a punt? #ffs #sake

Hoping some German winemaker dude has made an Auf Wiedersehen Pet Nat, and that somebody out there finds this as hilarious as I do.

Admittedly, it’s work, but I do love my job. 2017 vintage port launch, with benefits. #niepoort

Hopefully not too inflammatory to point out that you could drink this at The Ivy in Manchester for £175, or at Define for £79. 🤔😉👩‍🚒
