Careful with your AVAs

[tomstevenson]

Joe, you old sod, haven't you got anything better to do on a Sunday? Obviously I haven't!

Now I get a chance to welcome somebody to the Wine Board.

Joe's a wine buyer for Waitrose, the UK's best supermarket for wine (and, indeed, cheese). Waitrose has a wonderfully eclectic range, is always eager to market interesting wines, whatever the price or origin, even if they have to literally sell the wine. Joe's a great taster, he's studying for his MW and, best of all, he just loves fizz! Welcome Joe.

Now you'll have to excuse me. I've got a cellar to bail out ....
