"There will be some Autumn wine sales to talk about next week and it might be advisable to stock up a little as I suspect Christmas will be an expensive one this year."
Decanter

Co-Chair Sarah Jane Evans MW on judging Spanish wines at DWWA 2020
For me, Spain is the most exciting country in the world, so I come as a convert, but I think I could persuade anyone. We’ve seen a real diversity of grapes. You think of Rioja when you think of Spain, or Ribera del Duero, but we’re seeing brilliant wines from very different grape varieties, different producers – small producers rediscovering what their grandfathers had in their vineyards – and that excitement is absolutely coming through on the table. All over Spain, each flight has brought something super-great… it’s been a great voyage.
