Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Steven Spurrier. An absolute legend in the world of wine.

In a 1989 interview for the @BBC's Desert Island Discs, @EricClapton recalled watching Purple Rain “at a time when I thought rock and roll was dead,” and called the title track a "lifesaver." Listen to the Eric Clapton interview here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p009md…

"South Korea pioneered “drive-through” testing, with medical staff collecting swabs + providing results by text within days + released a smartphone app allowing quarantined citizens to self-report symptoms. GPS function tracks if they have left designated quarantine zones."
Amazing! What South Korea is doing is really bending their #Covid19 epidemic curve. Only 131 new cases today, versus 909 on Feb. 29. It's not just China. This clearly can be done. cdc.go.kr/board/board.es?mid…

Friends of mine will know how much I champion and adore my @eto_wine decanter/preserver. But please be aware that there is a flood of fake facebook/instagram ads for it at the moment. This is a scam! Eto can currently only be pre-ordered via indiegogo indiegogo.com/projects/eto-a…

There’s a shortage of perfect movies in this world. It would be a pity to damage this one.
Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO Tony Vinciquerra says that “very famous people whose names I won’t use” want to redo Norman Lear’s ‘The Princess Bride’ bit.ly/30qHpQM
