In June, restaurants and bars reopened in Singapore after nearly 11 weeks of lockdown. At the same time, after a few months publishing relatively few articles, I put much more online during the month. While the future is still uncertain, it does seem like we have taken a few steps back towards some sort of normality. Touch wood.

Here’s everything I wrote in June 2020.

• On JancisRobinson.com, I wrote:

  • A homage to Syrah, that was one of the site’s most-read articles: The wine that is better than God? (subscription needed)

  • An article examining the benefit of Vivino to merchants (subscription needed)

  • My monthly column dipped its tongue into tea tasting (free to read)

  • And a wine of the week from Uruguay (free to read)

• My Drinks Retailing News column considered whether the future of wine is online.

• An article examining Chinese wine on the Vintec Club website

• Some thoughts on what makes wine meaningful on Club Oenologique

• Two posts here on the blog

I also appeared on the Wine Curmudgeon podcast, released four new episodes of the podcast I produce with Olly Smith and hosted eight webinars for 67 Pall Mall, including interviews with Paul Symington and Philippe Guigal among many other great wine people.
