I assume this ‘suggestion’ is for one person and, if so, I’m properly on board with that. Whilst my family have been away skiing I’ve been making the most of the peace and quiet to plan the Spring Tasting. If you’re not already on the list for next Friday and fancy trying any or all of the 36 wines on offer get in touch sharpish. At last count there were more wines than guests so you can be sure of a spacious, relaxed affair! If you’d like further info just let me know and feel free to share with friends!
