Hi!

Hello, I am Will, Will the Wine. I'm an enthusiast, a glutton, a decent cook, and a heavy drinker.

I am now going to attempt a blog to record for posterity the things that I like to eat and drink, and the lessons I have learnt about food and wine. Simple food porn, with a particular emphasis on luxury when times are hard (drinking Grand Marque Champagne can be a moving experience, but never more so than when you have less than a tenner for the next 2 weeks).

My ethos is this: Cooking zeros my stress gauge, so I do it often. Eating well makes me warm and happy inside, so I do it often. Drinking well augments what I taste, so I do it often. I don't earn enough to do any of this, but somehow I muddle along, so I shall continue to do it often.

My ethics are thus: Quality is priority, but in practice that's generally allied to something sensible anyway. For instance, ingredients that haven't come from several thousand miles away, or that haven't been produced under principles derived from mind-numbing cruelty and greed, tend to be better quality than the ones that have. Quel surprise!
