France Under One Roof

A good, packed venue at Lord's and lots of wines to taste! Focus was the order of the day. Several finds were uncovered, including a very good Vouvray, one or two Burgundies and Rhones and some interesting Vins de Pays which excited my interest. And the sun peeped through the clouds across the lawns into the glass sided Nursery End Pavilion...

The seasonal jaunt to Vinopolis via The Clink (that's the street next to it!) to taste through the offerings from Portugal was amply rewarded with a good tasting and - not to be under-emphasised - this year also contained a selection of specialist foods to sample. You might say I was in my element. Anyway, a number of new wines were discovered and hopefully some will appear in due course on our list! Must remember to visit Borough Market when the stall are full!!
