wine, spirit and fine living
Keep an eye on vinopinions, cork and bottle’s blog which I will be updating regularly with my thoughts and opinions. Over the next few months I will be completely redesigning the website so updates are a bit short at the moment. Watch this space.
Latest:
For Social Media Week Glasgow I hosted a special wine tasting at WEST Brewery in the Templeton Building on Glasgow Green. The tasting of six wines from Waitrose involved a lively audience, lots of Twitter and a few technical glitches. All in the cause for social media. The result can be seen here
Of course there is my YouTube Channel, where I post all my videos but you can now find me on my own Moviecom TV Channel as well: http://moviecom.tv/corkandbottle
