I&#8217;m quite an open person, and so I tend to just let things happen organically. Which means that in more informal means of communication, such as this blog, there&#8217;s lots of personal stuff attached to the professional (wine-related) content.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMGP9559.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2858\" title=\"IMGP9559\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMGP9559.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMGP9559.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMGP9559-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMGP9559-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMGP9559-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not that I think I&#8217;m the story. Far from it. I don&#8217;t matter. It&#8217;s the wine, and the people involved with it, that are important. This is one of the reasons I&#8217;m uncomfortable with critics who take themselves and their scores too seriously. Journalists and critics should be humble in the face of wine.<\/p>\n<p>Today I have been down to Somerset for my elder son&#8217;s sports day. It&#8217;s also half-term for him. He was involved in quite a few events, and is pictured here lining up for the 800 m (which he competed in just after taking part in the 3000 m race, poor chap), and also doing the triple jump.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMGP9565.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2859\" title=\"IMGP9565\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMGP9565.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMGP9565.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMGP9565-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMGP9565-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMGP9565-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the questions facing me as someone who primarily functions online, with a heavy reliance on social media, is how much I should mix the personal and professional.
