Wine lists: What's next?

Francis Percival chairs a panel discussion with the World's Best Wine Lists Awards judges and guests.


Genuinely wonderful staff on the @Amtrak @RideRail Downeaster 696 today. They made travel with an 18-month-old so much easier. The little man is now obsessed with trains!

Still holiday shopping? @NYMag includes REINVENTING THE WHEEL in a roundup of gifts recommended by cheesemongers and cheesemakers. A “beautifully written case for the importance and cultural significance of artisan cheese.” @FAPercival @BronwenPercival nymag.com/strategist/art…

WBWL awards will still continue. Anyone who already entered their list will be in the judging process which is not affected by the Covid-19 crisis, anyone still wishing to submit their wine list can do so till the end of April. Results will be published as usual by December 2020.


Some personal news. Everyone is self isolating, but @BronwenPercival and I will be off the grid for a while as we welcome the new little guy. He would not be here without the superlative care that we have received from the team at @GSTTnhs. We are incredibly happy and grateful.

Deeply flattered to feature in this @FT piece on pressure cookers from the great @fuchsiadunlop. The piece mentions beef cheeks, but the combination of @RanchoGordo beans and our pressure cooker is central to how we eat chez Percival ft.com/content/296f84…
