So cool to see wineanorak featuring on University Challenge last night (a television program on the UK’s BBC). Paxman reading out content from my site! I’ve made it. Distressing to see how little these otherwise incredibly smart people knew about wine, though. The Charente??? Here’s the clip:
Congratulations – at least I got all 3 , 10+ years of reading your blog has clearly sunk in…
Wow, that is surprising….
(And well done!)
Sigh. At least the producers read your blog. The contestants in the clip do look like faculty, though. So maybe there’s still hope. Merry Christmas all.
saw this live as it were. They’re wine knowledge was pitiful. nice to be able to answers a few for a change.
You’re in the big time now Jamie. I’m just relieved to have got them right. it seriously boosted the “number of questions I get right on University Challenge” challenge that I usually do abysmally at.
Next stop Pointless?
I saw it and I said ” I know that man”. – my son was on it I few years ago so I know how you feel Jamie.
