One shot wonder

Post by Roy Hersh »

Today my article on Madeira was published in the outstanding UK wine magazine: THE WORLD OF FINE WINES. Although likely the only time I will be published there, I am happy even for this one great opportunity to have my work included in what I consider the best wine periodical in the world of wine. :NotWorthy:

Roy the article simply inspired immense jealousy! (At least in me).
World of Fine Wine is a superb publication and the perfect venue for the tasting you wrote about

May there be many more articles. Maybe the tasting in May in San Francisco!!

Reading it right now!
One question, who writes the author biography and who supplied the picture. :wink:
The bio has a shout out both to the website and to Taylor herself! :thumbsup:

You guys are funny. I submitted a bunch of info upon request, but they changed it up and even my wife was amused to see Taylor's name mentioned. I know that Neil B. is a FB friend, so he likely noticed that there. I submitted specific pics that were requested by Neil. In all honesty, having this specific tasting included means a ton, not for me as much as for the grape and for Madeira itself. Now there will be a historical record for all time and that's truly all I care about. [cheers.gif] It is one thing to have it in FTLOP online, another entirely to have it in that specific magazine.
