Having first discovered this beer when a wax-clad bottle drew my eye to the top shelf back in early 2015, Decadent Imperial IPA by Ska Brewing quickly cemented itself thereafter as one of all time favourites.

I think I’m lucky to have come into the wine game when I did. I’m now 33 and started in the wine trade eight years ago, meaning that I managed to avoid a great number of wine-related hang-ups and prejudices that most wine drinkers the generation above me seem to carry around with them. I

My dad’s favourite pudding is cheesecake. While the rest of us plan our meals around mains, he’s already sidled up to the dessert trolley.
