Apart from Jamie Goode, I’ve never heard of any of these folks declared to be top “influencers” in this Drinks Insights list published today. It’s “based on their performance and engagement online.”
Ken Alawine
Peter Dickens
Frankie Cook
Robert Joseph
Julien Miguel
Amy Lieberfarb
Fiona Beckett
Jon Thorsen
Jamie Goode
Fabien Laine
Dickens, Joseph and Beckett are British, like Goode, which might explain why they are unfamiliar to me.
not on the 'gram, so I can’t help. But influencers are an amusing concept in general. I’ve run into them at restaurants, clubs and bars. Always douchey.
I think they may be influencing groups such as Serpa’s, the Sentinelese and the Aghori(trying to get these to improve beverage pairing with their fav can be the ultimate challenge).
MarcF has a video of me, at the end of a 14+ bottle night for 6 people, waxing philosophically about the glory of vintage Colares and its old vine, Franc de Pied qualities. It’s pure gold.
Otherwise, I’ve only heard of Jamie Goode, and simply cannot recall what, if anything, I have read that he or she has authorized. Assuming he or she is even an author.
