From the desk of the boss himself:-
Trawling round wine trade tastings can, on occasion, be a somewhat dispiriting experience. Kissing frog after frog in search of the odd princess does start to wear you down after a while so catching up with Gabriel and Alberto Sanchis Mestre was a welcome relief last week after I’d had my fill of very average Rioja., transforming their family wine business to one focused on bottling their own wines from the local, traditional varieties.
