Mario Gemello was not just a winemaker.
He was a storyteller.
And one day, 20 years after his retirement, a #WineandSpirits reporter called.
Giving him the news that would trigger one of the best stories of all.

What a pleasure it was to speak to #WineandSpirits' Josh Greene today for my #TablasCreek Instagram Live. I always appreciate Josh's thoughtful approach to #wine... and loved what he had to say about the value (and risk) of tasting blind. If you missed it, it's archived at https://www.instagram.com/p/ClmWoRvBPLx/

Time for my introductory Mastodon post. I’m the retired MD of a large architect’s practice who is now the part owner of a craft brewery in Leith. I live on the English-Scottish border (literally on the border). I’m a traditional liberal with a small l and think that nationalism in any form is a toxic habit. So my hashtag interests are #architecture #BeerAndFood #ScottishIndependance #northumberland #edinburgh #ScottishBorders #brewing #brewing #rugby #brexit #RejoinEU #wineandspirits #history
