Question for wine geeks: has anyone seen a GDD map of famous wine regions as they are now, then compared with what they could be after a 2C temperature rise from global warming? Been searching google/scholar but no joy

All smiles with @jamiegoode today! Inside of course I’m terrified, as we’re judging two years of my work in a few hours, which is always a little nerve-racking. We looked at all the 2018 @vagabondwines from our… instagram.com/p/B9rkhU2JEeE/…

Has anyone got any old barrels to sell in the UK? They’re for props, so don’t need to be usable. I need 8 ideally, of the Bordeaux inclination (long, skinny, haughty attitude, nice suit, 225L).

Racking some Pinot Noir rosé. This is the base wine for the 2019 ‘Pet-Not’, my untraditional take on the ancestral style sparkling wines. It’s based around a pet-nat (obvs..) but is more accurately a non-disgorged… instagram.com/p/B8qmuC0naVi/…

Pinot Noir Rosé is kicking off in barrel. Smells outrageously good too.. . . . . . . . . . #winemaking #winemaker #vineyards #grapevine #wine #wino #vino #fermentation #flyingwinemaker #Urbanwinery #Londonwine… instagram.com/p/B34uCETnfIw/…

End of harvest party today! We’ve got live music, tastings, epic BBQ, fun and frivolity. It’s 12-5 so bring the kids, friends, dog, cat, whatever. We’ll have new and old wines on show, and no doubt some folks will… instagram.com/p/B3y0hSgHCb9/…

The last crate into the last press for 2019... It’s been a tough harvest, although we’ve had some very good fruit; in spite of the weather conspiring against us. That’s a testament to our growers, who I can’t thank… instagram.com/p/B3xgHoqnz7C/…

Early morning picking Pinot, overlooking the river Crouch, at clayhillinfo We’re now heading back to the winery to press the Pinot Noir for rosé.. . . . . . . #winemaking #winemaker #vineyards #grapevine #wine… instagram.com/p/B3t0QkTJr6r/…

Ortega, my glorious floozie of a wine! Extroverted and wild, rich, delicious, gorgeously textured and damn good fun. A tropical fruit punch right in the mouth... High temperature, high turbidity high jinks.… instagram.com/p/B3mqXKLnYb7/…

Our Ortega barrels are starting to ferment. Lots of solids in the juice, and some deliberate oxidation should give these babies masses of texture. These are fermenting with ambient (wild) yeast so do take a while to… instagram.com/p/B3g2SZMnKrO/…

Last press of the day is on, and we’ve finally got a few minutes to breathe.. Time for a #harvestcocktail Fresh Ortega juice (sans souffre) followed by a slug of gin, a smidge of soda and topped with fermenting… instagram.com/p/B3aOogfnpqt/…

Picking Ortega today. We’ll treat it a bit like Chardonnay, whole bunch press, quick settle then to barrel. Potential alcohol is a most 12%, and the flavours are pretty good. It’ll be interesting to see how this pans… instagram.com/p/B3ZNrIAHW5G/…

The Bacchus continues... Given the weather was a bit shaky we picked these yesterday and left them in cold storage overnight.. Lucky the ambient temp in the UK in October is pretty cold! Hand picking and then… instagram.com/p/B3R0niEnDvU/…

Pressing Frauburgunder (Pinot Noir Precoce) today! It’s juicy and delicious and it’ll be a proper session wine. One bottle will never be enough ;) . . . . . . . . . #winemaking #winemaker #vineyards #grapevine… instagram.com/p/B3J1yuqHpCz/…

Loading the last press of the day! This is Pinot Noir and it’s being gently whole bunch pressed to get rosé juice. It’s destined for our @vagabondwines Pet-Not, which will triple production this year. Take that… instagram.com/p/B2912ioHTlr/…

Hand plunging the Pinot - it’s already stated to ferment naturally, which is brilliant. Smells clean and juicy, so looking good so far! The goal with this was for a rapid onset ferment (natural), so there’s low SO2… instagram.com/p/B24B94nHgm-/…

What’s the secret to a good harvest...? Meal prep. Also lots of work clothes, to minimise laundry! #harvesttips . . . . . . . . #winemaking #winemaker #vineyards #grapevine #wine #wino #vino #fermentation… instagram.com/p/B2zW-ujnaNv/…

Getting crates out for the first pick of the year tomorrow. There’s a weather window in the morning, hopefully, so want to take full advantage of it! . . . . . . . . . . . #winemaking #winemaker #vineyards… instagram.com/p/B2y887JHzAb/…

Little Friday night special. Crunch, stemmy, elegant and downright fucking delicious Syrah. Right up my street this - those ochotabarrels folks know what they’re doing. . . . . . . . . #winemaking #winemaker… instagram.com/p/B2pTnJIHPl-/…

Out sampling grapes with Ed, from Yew Tree Farm, on a glorious sunny day. What country are we in again..? The weather this last week has helped things along nicely and the grapes are looking good. The Bacchus is… instagram.com/p/B2mOIfyHGjB/…
