Tom Gilbey: The Wine W*nker

Joining me on the podcast today is one of the most kind and funny, down to earth people I’ve recently met - the hilariously clever Tom Gilbey aka The Wine guy. You are probably wondering why on earth my next guest’s career is drinking wine and if you are watching this, why I’m sitting here in a tuxedo… but if you watched anything on socials about the London marathon, I’m very sure you would have heard about the brilliant Tom. Tom blasted on everyone’s screens after he ran the London marathon for Sobell House Hospice, but what was different about Tom’s marathon was that with every mile he blind tasted a wine. What I love about Tom is his attitude to life, life is about balance, and why can’t he run a marathon and drink wine all the way through it? Tom vouches for not taking life too seriously and it really is so refreshing to see what he has achieved by doing exactly that. In this episode we discuss his rise on socials alongside why being the wine guy doesn’t mean you can’t be a runner…I also make him do a particularly different type of wine tasting than he is used to! This really was one of the funniest episodes we’ve had, and I hope you enjoy it!
