Pour Yourself a (Jancis) Glass & Enjoy Our Top Posts of 2022

WHATTA YEAR.

^{(No seriously, WHATTA YEAR!)}

We at Skurnik are endlessly proud of our Portfolio Management team, who, among seemingly hundreds of other responsibilities, are frequent contributors to the blog and our social media presence (shameless plug: follow us on Instagram if you don’t already…).

Whether it’s an incredibly thoughtful yet approachable headline, a prose so good it makes us want to re-work a producer’s entire ‘About’ section, an idea for an insta post that evolves into a cult series, or photos that simply breathe life into our tastings and partners — we are thrilled to share with you a humble list of our most-loved posts in 2022.

Behold, one year of ideating, asking, listening, gushing, writing, photographing, and WordPress-ing.

Very often, also, herding cats.
