All my actions these days are centered around the Valentine's Road Trip. 2 weeks driving up and down the country, visiting Tesco supermarkets, signing Stormhoek lithographs. 50 individual stores in all. Ouch.

I don't have the final schedule yet, but it's roughly February 1st-14th. Pretty much the entire UK is being covered. Plymouth, Inverness, Bristol, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds, London... even looking at the list on paper leaves me feeling exhausted.

If it goes well, the potential payoff for Stormhoek is huge. Very nerve-wracking. But in a good way.

Any sign of Swansea or somewhere off in the wilds of West Wales being on your list?

I had a look in my local Tesco at the weekend but couldn't find it - I guess it's not in stock yet. The problem with looking for wine in Tesco is that your faced with hundreds / thousands of very similar looking bottles - at least your labels will stand out. I'll have a look another time but I expect it to taste like angels dancing on my tongue - if it taste's like cat's wee I'll be back to say as much...

Was wondering if you could give me some advice, and how do I get my local store to stock this wine..

Are you coming to Cambridge? If so let me know and I'll make sure I turn out and scream like a fanboy in your general direction.
