I always thought that some of the most friendly people I’ve met are the Irish and the Australian, after the Maltese of course . In some way or another I was lucky to work with people coming from both countries and my experiences were positive and fun. Some weeks ago, Berenice, a Maltese friend of [...]

If my inbox were allowed to ping annoyingly it would have. There are some emails that look innocent enough and yet lead to a rancorous sequence of events, one that spirals gently and unstoppably downhill like the drive back from the snow-covered slopes after a week of fun and booze.

Collaborating with others may be a difficult process for some. It took less than 15 minutes to understand that we may work with Ed.

As a food and wine (and single malt whisky and grappa and….) lover, one may just imagine how enthusiastic I was when Joséf Bonello called me to speak about his new project. A wine club that is not associated to any local wine producer or wine importer. A club that will provide training, events, visits [...]
