Early rise for a stodgy croissant and some yoghurt and a few strong coffees to wake the taste buds and the body. A lovely start to a winter’s day with a Puligny tasting at Jacques Carillon’s pristine winery.

Cederberg obtains 5 Star Rating from Platter's Guide

Cederberg has recieved yet another accolade for their exceptional wines, this time from Platter’s Guide. Platter's Guide tells the stories behind South Africa’s cellars, people and brands. It places the romancticism back into wine, which is often missing from the picture.

Autumn Cambridge College Tasting, by Sean Burbridge

All started well on Tuesday morning as Mike turned up at my house on time, ready to head to Cambridge for our biannual Cambridge College wine tasting event.



Burgundy Trip (2011 Vintage) - Day One, by Jason Busby

An early start to get to Gatwick for our flight to Lyon. No mention of terminal confusion! Arrived mid morning in a sunny Lyon to collect car ready for 2 hour car journey to Beaune, one of my favourite places on earth, with its uncommercial, friendly atmosphere - oh and some of the greatest wines available.
