We've got a very special episode for you today. Last weekend, I visited The Terrace Rooms and Wine in Ventnor, Isle of Wight. Tom has had a remarkable career, that you'll hear all about in out interview, but what he's doing now is even more fascinating.

With just six rooms, him and his partner Ashley have built a haven for wine lovers on the island and beyond. As you'll hear, it has a unique focus on food and drink, with almost all of the work falling to them.

What they have built is remarkable and I absolutely loved this chat - I hope you do too! Be sure to head over to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more and subscribe so that you never miss an episode of the show!
