Apologies for the delay in posting a blog this week – I have been flying back to the UK from New Zealand and I feel like I’ve been hit across the head with a sledgehammer.
But some good news has managed to stir me from my slightly dazed state: I have been short listed for the inaugural ‘Emerging Wine Writer of the Year’ award at the 2010 Louis Roederer International Wine Writers’ Awards. Hooray!
