The Adventure Begins...

As some of you may know I joined Red & White at the beginning of June and whilst I am a (very) enthusiastic wine drinker my backround is not in the wine trade. In fact for the past 4 years I have been running Cranch's Sweetshop in Totnes

My wine education is in the hands of Chris Eastman, the Shop Manager and Liam Steevonson, the Proprietor of Red & White and one of only 280 Masters of Wine in the World. (Interesting Fact: More people have been into space than have achieved the Master of Wine Qualification!) They are both amazingly knowledgeable and passionate about the subject - I could scarcely have a better introduction into the fascinating world of wine. In this blog I want to share with you my experiences of tasting new and exciting wines as a relative novice and some of my thoughts and feelings about the wines I've sampled. So look out for my next post when I'll be giving you the highlights of my first few months at Red & White.

Thanks for reading.
