We’ve been here since 8am, lugging boxes, sofas, golf clubs, bottles and a whole lot more in to The Brewery for tomorrow’s Bibendum EC1 tasting. In amongst the madness, Finkus Bripp of Wine on the Rocks fame got busy with a camera or two…

New BTimes video from bespoke film maker Finkus Bripp. We love Wine on Rocks videos because they’re funky, cool and young. We have always believed that wine should be simple and accesible and Wine on the Rocks seems like the perfect partner in crime for us.

But before we get carried away with next year, lets celebrate the fun we had. We …

Most of the team are already down at the Saatchi turning an art gallery into the home of the UK’s largest one day wine tasting.

Just when we thought we had everything in perfect order for next week’s Tasting, our French wine buyers Tim and Stuart reappeared from an early January visit to Chablis with the news that we needed to find room for two more growers.

The Fine Wine room is always one of the busiest spaces at the Annual Tasting. Last year, I was pouring some of the wines there are we didn’t stop from 10am to 7pm.
