Pour Yourself a (Jancis) Glass & Enjoy Our Top Posts of 2019

Whatta year.

We at Skurnik are endlessly proud of our Brand Management team, who, among seemingly hundreds of other responsibilities, are frequent contributors to the blog and our social media presence (shameless plug: catch us on Facebook, Instagram, & Twitter, if you don’t follow 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-story that evolves into a cult following, 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 2019.

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

(Very often, also, herding cats.)
