David Williams for The Observer Magazine

Getting paid to drink might sound like a dream job... But what’s it really like to be a wine writer? Observer critic David Williams reveals all in this recent story and cover for The Observer Magazine

"‘If you’d told my younger self that he’d be tasting hundreds of wines for a living, I’m not sure he’d have approved. Too hedonistic, and also far too posh’: David Williams gets down to work"

Thanks for a fun day out and commission Alex Ortiz!
