IWC announce their iPhone app

Once again, the IWC leads the way with a new development to bring information on the winners of the world’s most carefully-judged wine competition to an ever-wider public. This time, it is to a young, iPhone-toting generation, people who rely on hand-held devices to provide them with instant information on restaurants, maps, live sport scores, music downloads, and, now, the best wines to buy and where to buy them.

The IWC app will be available in early February. We will let you know when you can download it.

Grand Cru Chablis and New Zealand Wines

Thanks to the camaraderie between the Union des Grand Cru de Chablis and New Zealand Wines, I, amongst many others, managed to make it painlessly to both tastings yesterday. For a review of both tastings along with video interviews visit the IWC Blog.
