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

This is totally sinful and I make no apologies for it because once-in-a-while we all need something a little naughty and self-indulgent.
