@michaelgregg is someone who knows A LOT about wine. A lot as in the entire lifecycle, process and methods by which wine is made. Being a vintner for Harvest Estate he has a first hand knowledge and perspective on what the qualities are that make a really good wine. Being involved, literally, at a grass roots level of production gives him a knowledge that few others may have.
Harvest Estate is located in the beautiful district of Martinborough. It is a land space that is flat, warm and picturesque area of land that has been found to be ideally suited to the growth of grapes. The homes are lovely, the roads flat and fast and the climate amazing.
So why would you want to follow someone on twitter whose job is to make wine? I think the more apt question is - why wouldn't you? Seriously. Here's what you'll get from @michaelgregg the tweeter -
The culinary whizz - "Kiwi Pinot Noir for dinner, now to choose some food groups to go with it #dinnerishealthierifyoudontchoosemeatfirst"
The humorist - "At least people are learning to spell Cook Strait correctly ... #brightside @eqnz"
The outdoorsman - "Ooooo ... scallop season opened in Marlborough Sounds today. They'll need some fattening up. I'll check the dive bottles are full anyway!"
Like a good bottle of wine there are many different flavors that will cross your twitter palate with Michael. He brings a range of tweets, subjects and RTs that both appeal to the sweeter amongst us as well as the more savoury topics that many if us relish.
Michael is a really great tweeter in that he balances his personal account and likes with his passion for growing great grapes and turning out award winning wines. Harvest Estates also have a social media presence on Facebook if you want to head over and hit the like button. But this post is all about singing the praises of someone whose career and passion it is to produce fine wine's that the rest of us can savour and enjoy when we are looking for a special moment.
