You wanted TM&TM weekly you got it. Out Thursday morning is Part II of @FergusElias Norwegian Saga. Expect discussion on morality, ethics, and ground clearance. @WineMan147 talks up Marc Millon's new book & his upcoming Spanish tasting. Why would you want this every week?
Lunch with the brilliant Sebastian Zuccardi ahead before more tastings and the big @Maker_Merchant interview with @WSTA_Miles this evening. @wstauk @SebaZuccardi @ZuccardiWines @HatchMansfield @RandRDrinkers @FergusElias
Calling the UK drinks trade! We're soon interviewing @WSTA_Miles @wstauk & we want (or need) YOUR questions. Want to know what more we can do to better the industry? How can we support the brilliant WSTA further? Find out where Miles buys his socks? Ask us to ask him @FergusElias
In our latest episode, which drops Thursday morning, @FergusElias regales us with tales of his recent Norwegian exploits. @WineMan147 listens on in awe.
BIG NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT SO LISTEN UP! Next week we are talking to the magnificent @WSTA_Miles. While @FergusElias & @WineMan147 have questions, we'd like to know what YOU (yes, you) would like to ask. Get your questions in by DM to Ferg, Lee, or right here. #AskMiles @wstauk
Last week we were introduced to actor, legend, wine & cheese raconteur Dan Belmont. He could have been Macbeth, Kowalski, Venkman; instead he wrote the book on NY State Wines. We’ve worked with better, but not many. Download it, but whatever you do…DON’T CROSS THE STREAMS!
Starting tomorrow TM&TM are going Two Parters! That's right, we'll be piped into your soundboxes every week now! (You asked for it!) We're starting with a great chat with Wine & Cheese Raconteur Dan Belmont. @FergusElias & @WineMan147 were truly in awe. Out Thursday AM
You didn't ask, we did it anyway. A bonus episode talking all things Welsh wine. @WineMan147 covers off the producers at The Welsh Wine Showcase. @FergusElias talks about the new @BalfourWinery Albariño, and we tease a grounbreaking new concept. Episode live right now!
Who keeps letting him out of the house?!
Who keeps letting him out of the house?!
Ferg goes Full Partridge. We learn from @SusieBarrie that if we name things we don't like we might be sent them & we ask what links the Tuscan Maremma with Sussex. Primarily though @FergusElias & @WineMan147 issue a formal apology to TM&TM Superfan @KarenJenkins113. We're sorry.
Corporate Ferg insisted we have a quarterly update. His data revelaed that our episode with Zoë Driver is our most successful yet. Have you listened to it yet? @FergusElias @WineMan147
On Thursday morning we drop The Big Chat we had with the outstanding Zoë Driver from @BlackChalkWine. From being England's first winemaking apprentice to globe trotting star, Zoë is an icon. What she was doing with us we'll never know. @FergusElias @WineMan147
It seems James plays to the same audience we do...
Oh wow...what can we say. Launching tomorrow morning we reveal THE INDEPTH interview you've all been waiting for. Luke Spalding of @everflyht faces down an intense grilling from @FergusElias & @WineMan147. You're gonna love this...
TM&TM once again bring an English wine heavyweight. @LanghamWinery's very own @tommy_grimshaw faces a Paxman style grilling from @FergusElias before they face each other in @WineMan147's quiz designed to find out who is the better winemaker. Episode out Thursday morning.
We had a blast with the wonderful Ingrid. Scones, 90s indie rock, and some wine stuff. It's all in here.

After years of trying, we finally gave in to @DYvineyards sensible rider & had a great chat with Ingrid. If you want to know what links scones, @shedseven, and Voltis, listen here. @FergusElias & @WineMan147 do go a bit fanboy, but who can blame them? Episode out Thursday AM.
That's right. There's yet another episode of TM&TM dropping this week. Titled: Ice Cold In Bristol, featuring the magnificent Ingrid '@DYvineyards' Bates as our guest.

We're not completely stupid at TM&TM. We know what isn't working & how to fix it. We've retained fan favourite @FergusElias & binned (for this episode) @WineMan147. In our next episode we beta test our new concept...THE MAKER AND THE MOBBS. Feat: @GreatBritWine Out tomorrow.
TM&TM waive any and all responsibility for Lee's words, actions, and thoughts. We are in no way associated with this foolish endeavour. He is under departmental investigation and we will deal with him in the strongest possible terms.

You wanted TM&TM weekly you got it. Out Thursday morning is Part II of @FergusElias Norwegian Saga. Expect discussion on morality, ethics, and ground clearance. @WineMan147 talks up Marc Millon's new book & his upcoming Spanish tasting. Why would you want this every week?
Get em in! Either to me direct or email [email protected]
BIG NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT SO LISTEN UP! Next week we are talking to the magnificent @WSTA_Miles. While @FergusElias & @WineMan147 have questions, we'd like to know what YOU (yes, you) would like to ask. Get your questions in by DM to Ferg, Lee, or right here. #AskMiles @wstauk
This was a thoroughly enjoyable trip and if you want to listen to me talk about it more fool you.
In our latest episode, which drops Thursday morning, @FergusElias regales us with tales of his recent Norwegian exploits. @WineMan147 listens on in awe.
Wow! We've been listening to @Maker_Merchant's #podcast this week where Lee (the merchant) gave Fergus (the maker) a wonderful summary of the Welsh Wine Showcase Event last month. 🥂 Thank you so much to Lee for his kind words about our wines which you can hear in the video 🤩
For those of you who’d like to listen to three very silly people chatting about silly things and sometimes wine… here’s the link to the podcast I did with @WineMan147 @FergusElias for @MakerMerchant podcast… open.spotify.com/episode/30LaGB… #wine #englishwine #bristol #somerset
Editing the latest episode of @MakerMerchant, featuring SUPER special guest @DYvineyards. It's an absolute cracker. Powering through with this Château des Jacques, a kind gift from @JamesHubbard113 via @TheWineSociety. Just wonderful. @LouisLatourUK @HatchMansfield @RandRDrinkers
Here's the thing. There's no magic wand to save hospitality. It needs to be many things. VAT needs to drop. Without service charge, your total bill is roughly: 20% VAT 30% food and drink cost 40% staff costs That leaves 10% for rent, energy, business rates, contracts and
Profane language, innovative use of sound, many jump cuts...if Blatty & Friedkin had made podcasts, they wouldn't have been as terrifying as @FergusElias and me. @MakerMerchant already back for '24. Oh my.
We want to help everyone get '24 ofd to a great start. If you spend 90 minutes with us, things can only get better afterwards. @FergusElias & @WineMan147 catch up on their highlights of last year, and hopes for this one. TM&TM: I Hear You're Possessed Now Father out now.
Just home for the first time since 14th December. Slight eye roll and arched brow from Mary as I shot off to the winery to check on the wines in tank before unloading the luggage. All is well. Hurtfully the wines seem to have done just fine without me!
@MakerMerchant @FergusElias @WineMan147 @GauchoPicc I bet that was a riot 🍷🥂🍾🎶🎉🥳
Last few days before our Christmas break folks… join us this Wedneaday 18:00 - 23:30 drinks or dinner Thursday 18:00 - 23:30 drinks or dinner Friday 12:30 - 23:30 lunch, drinks or dinner (+ Christmas shopping) Saturday 12:30-23:30 lunch (almost fully booked), drinks or dinner
Exciting booking first trips for 2024, a couple of visits to France and then a Chile/Argentina double header. Exciting times.
@FergusElias No need to throw your toys out of the teacup Ferg 😊
No comment
TM&TM accept no responsibility for damage to persons of property. What @FergusElias gets up to in his own time is his business. Personally we think he should stick to winemaking.
@MakerMerchant @FergusElias That brings out the sweats? Or were you thinking something else?
@MakerMerchant @FergusElias Is Storm Fergus an imperative?
@MakerMerchant @FergusElias Is this what happens when he has a really hot curry?
I’m throwing in a magnum of blanc de blancs. Go get involved
To our surprise the TM&TM hoodie being sported by our hosts @FergusElias & @WineMan147 has become the MUST HAVE CHRISTMAS PRESENT of 2023. Who would have guessed? Head over to our Instagram for a chance to win this fantastic piece of wine nonsense based attire.
