Tim Wildman

KIDS IN AMERICA 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🍇 🇺🇸 In this month’s Wine Enthusiast magazine Christina Pickard features “four very different yet equally influential winemakers gazing into crystal balls to understand what England’s wine industry needs to thrive in the future. Those solutions may include preserving cold-hardy varieties, telling better stories, and maybe just having a little more fun.” ✅ ✅ ✅ Have Wine Enthusiast’s 500,000 print readers and 1 million digital subscribers ever seen a photo of a Hungarian Wirehaired Vizsla and a Mr Scruff T-shirt in the same article? “Wildman is English wine’s unofficial fun master and resident rabble rouser.” “Lost in a Field was born out of my frustration at the wine trade endlessly telling itself it needs more stories, and the very lackluster ones that people usually come up with.” “In 2019, Wildman returned home to England after 12 years of making pét-nats in Australia. He’d witnessed English wine’s exponential growth but felt it was in danger of becoming too homogenous, too staid, too dominated by “red-trousered hedge fund managers all telling the same story.” “Lost in a Field adventures are well documented on social media, where Wildman has coined phrases like “not-shit,” “thinky-drinky,” and “squeaky bum moment” in his self-deprecating videos. He rebranded German hybrids as “heritage varieties” and coined the term “Brít-Nat,” creating a whole new category of sparklers.” Read the full article on the Wine Enthusiast website > magazine > wine > “In all its sparkling glory, English wine continues its meteoric rise” or on the About page on the Lost in a Field website 👀 #drinkthe🌈 #lostvineyardpreservationsociety 🌳 #brítnat 🍾 @lost_in_a_field @timwildman @christinakpickard @mrs_cruff @wineenthusiast @lescavesdepyrene @metrovinowine @vinearts @bubblesofbritain @christy.frank.wine @winegb @sugruesouthdowns @emma_rice_wines @marburywines @charlie.holland.336 @tamlyncurrin @jancisrobinson @dans.ldn @grape_britannia 🍇 🇺🇸 🍾🌈 🥂🦄

If there are golden people in the wine world, with right values and a wild heart, @timwildman is of them! That’s why I was so excited to sit down and talk with him about Yes to Sediment in his pét-nat projects @wildmanwine and @lost_in_a_field 🍾 We also discussed fun wine vs fine wine, and whether the wine world sometimes mistakes seriousness for quality. 😬 • Watch the full video on my YouTube channel, link in the bio! 👆👆👆 • • To watch other entertaining and educational wine videos and podcasts, check out my YouTube channel No Sediment! • Spot for best wines and best videos @winecollectors.lv • • #wine #vino #winepodcast #nosediment #nosedimentwine

“FLIRT WITH SOMETHING FUN” 😍 She popped a Pig and she liked it 🐷💥 Piggy Pop pét-nat gets a nod from Forbes.com no less for Valentine’s and Galentine’s Day for those whose kink is pink 😉 “Wildman Wine ‘Piggy Pop’ Pét-Nat 2025 For A Perfect Pizza Pairing Garnet-colored Wildman Wine Piggy Pop is Valentine’s Day bubbles for people who like to flirt with something fun, bright and a little unexpected. Made by Master of Wine Tim Wildman with a “clean, pure and fruity” sensibility—natural-leaning, but never feral—this pét-nat hailing from South Australia is all joy, no funk. In the glass: bright cherry, spice and raspberry, with aromatic whites (from arneis and zibibbo grapes) lifting snappy reds (a blend of Nero d’Avola and mataro grapes) right up to your face. Pairing well with pizza, Piggy Pop is the perfect bottle for a “Netflix and chill” Valentine’s date. “ @laneelee @epicurean_wines @wildmanwine @alliancewine @lacabanehk @eastendcellars @liquidlibrary @metrovinowine @vinearts

“DOWNTON ABBEY IN A GLASS” 🥂 Tamlyn Currin speaks her mind about the 2006 Lark & Folly @jancisrobinson Lark & Folly 2006 East Sussex Sparkling Reichensteiner / Huxelrebe   Full bottle 1,630 g. Discovered by pet-nat king Tim Wildman in the cellars of a deceased estate, and disgorged on 25 September 2023, this English wine spent 17 years on lees.  After disgorging, the wine was given a dosage of 8 g/l and sealed with a crown cap. Only 360 of these bottles exist and I’m told they represent the only commercially available bottles from this vintage.  This really is quite extraordinary! Aromas of apple peels and windfall apples lying thick on orchard grass, and dandelion flowers, just opened, which is when they smell sweet not bitter. It’s full of tang, there’s a tentative toastiness (cobnuts, left in the pan a couple of seconds too long), buttermilk leesiness, praline richness, salty pickled lemons.  The bubbles are tiny, tickling, only just there. The texture hints at cream and then turns cashmere. What a gorgeous heirloom wine!  Downton Abbey in a glass! Pair with quail? I think this might cope with anything cooked in a mustardy creamy sauce, or, even, perhaps Welsh rarebit! I might have to test that theory... (TC) 17/20  Tamlyn Currin on JancisRobinson.com  Lark & Folly 2010 Kent Sparkling Schönburger  Full bottle 1,600 g. Tim Wildman’s latest project is unearthing long-forgotten bottles of never-released English wines.  The story goes that this wine was discovered in the ballroom of a stately home Tim was visiting while searching for grapes for Lost in a Field.  The inhabitants just happened to be sitting on a whole hoard of English wine made over ten years ago. It really does smell like old vintage champagne – leesy, toasty, warm almond meal, even a little old-Riesling-like with a trace of pickled lime twisting into TDN.  There is a sour-cream richness and a smidge of nuttiness all wrapped up in chiffon bubbles. So quirky! There’s really nothing like this. I think I’d pair it with cockles and capers! (TC) 16.5 / 20  Tamlyn Currin on JancisRobinson.com @tamlyncurrin

YEAH BOYYY! 😎 DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE….BUT IT’S TRUE, WE’RE NOW ON RAISIN 🏆 Believe! Wildman Wine (Australia) and Lost in a Field (England) have recently been added to the awesome natural wine app Raisin, joining 3000+ natural winemakers around the world. If you don’t know Raisin, get on board! As well as winemakers, it lists over 7000 natural wine bars and restaurants worldwide wide. When I find myself in an unfamiliar city I jump on Raisin to find a joyful unpretentious bar, and have had many a great night this way. And don’t think this is a pay-to-play game, to be on the Raisin app as a producer you have to be nominated, and meet their strict requirements. As they say themselves, “our goal is to ensure that Raisin is your reliable tool for all things natural wine” Cheers! 🥳 @lescavesdepyrene @naturalwineapp @alliancewine @lacabanehk @rawwinesg @winediamondsjapan @epicurean_wines @metrovinowine @vinearts @thelivingvine @barewine_nz @eastendcellars @vardonlane @liquidlibrary @thewinemerchantnorway @thewinesociety1874 @naturalwineapp #astrobunny #piggypop #frolic #pétnat #natural #notshit 🚀 🐰 🐷 💥 #tastethe🌈
