Pancho Campo and Jay Miller
The shortlist for the 2012 Born Digital Awards has just been announced and I'm delighted that Jim's Loire has been shortlisted in the Best Investigative Wine Story category for 'no Pay no Jay'. Should this happen to win and the competition is very tough, then I will be sharing the prize with my co-author Harold Heckle, who obtained the crucial emails. The winners will be announced on 23rd May at 16.30 at the Access Zone, London International Wine Trade Fair and streamed live on www.vrazon.com/accesszone

What a waste of time and money. There are more guys writing and blogging about wine than actually buying and drinking it. No wonder this industry is going down the drain. Useless effort as statistics clearly show. Budd, working for the CWW should make you unelegible. You wine writers are all a bit dodgy. He he
Don’t forget to thank your agent, your lawyer, your publishing company, your Mum and Dad, your wife and other sexual partners and also the large body of us, your faithful readers, who have supported you through this heavy period and hard time.
Three cheers to J B for his clear win to come.
Well done Jim. By the way, have you seen the latest comment on the article about Pancho Campo's resignation on Drinksbusiness.com?
Anon. Many thanks. No I hadn't seen the very interesting clarification from Javier Hidalgo of Bodegas la Gitana. Was the initial post by another Javier Hidalgo or were they nicking his identity?
Luc. I can see that I may well have to commission an acceptance speech from you just in case Harold and I win through. I assume that the shorter the speech the more it costs!
The speech will come free of charge for you Jim !
I even forward it right away:
“Many thanks to all of you !” .... full stop.
Luc. I didn't forget. I thanked the cat and dog.
