Over the three days of Prowein 2014 in Dusseldorf,
apart from rushing between the halls,
covering ludicrous distances, gathering information
for Meininger’s Wine Business International and 
thejosephreport,attending meetings with current and
potential DoILikeIt? consultancy clients and helping
Catherine Monahan to run WineStarsWorld, I did a
little tweeting…
Here, by popular request (well, from four or five
people) is the unedited stream.
