I was delighted to learn today that The World of Fine Wine journal has launched a blog. You can find it here.
It’s about time. At last I can send links to favourite writers and encourage friends and customers to read the real thing, which is always a welcome reminder of why I got into this business in the first place. To be reminded of the complexity and charm of wine every quarter is worth the price of admission.
Andrew Jeffords kicks off, with a characteristically humane riff on money and wine and 2009 Bordeaux. With first growths going for $20,000 a case, en primeur(!), I can only shake my head in wonder and in worry. But wine has proven itself a solid investment over decades, and the entry of new investors from China and elsewhere only reinforces that. Take a deep breath, read lots, and keep buying wines that you love.
