It was a quiet month here on the blog, but a very busy one for me over on JancisRobinson.com, where I published eight articles covering the 2018 vintage in the Rhône, including over 800 tasting notes. Here in Singapore, I’ve been starting to work with 67 Pall Mall, which is now running weekly site visits for existing and potential members.

November also brought my last Living France column, which ran for four years - and the news that Drinks Retailing News is moving to a bimonthly schedule in 2020. The better news is that I’ve been commissioned to write more articles for Vintec Club, and have got a few other writing gigs in the pipeline.

Here’s what I wrote in November:
