The London Wine Fair is in its thirty fifth year and I made my annual pilgrimage to the Kensington Olympia on Monday with my target list of wines I wanted to taste and producers and merchants I needed to see. ARMIT WINES My first stop was Armit to chat to old friends Christoph and Graeme…
THE WINE MUSEUM OF FONTE DE LA FIGUERA That Sunday morning we drove through acres of bush vines to the wine museum in the little town of Font de la Figuera. “You will like the museum ” Robert said. “It is full of old winemaking gear and clay tinajas.” A smiling young woman opened the door and…
