In 2006 my health required some attention and I found myself regularly going down South to a private hospital. During my travels, I was frequently passing a vineyard. I’ve always enjoyed a nice glass of wine and on seeing this vineyard, curiosity had the better of me.
Having heard so much about the superiority of French wines, I decided to stop by and find out how English wine would compare. I must admit it was love at first taste. A sparkling rose and a crisp white both stood out as very special wines and I bought a few cases to share my newfound passion with family and friends.
Since then I’ve had reason to return to this vineyard a couple of times to stock up, but I’ve also made myself busy trying to find new wines to try. For me this is a journey of discovery and if I could share that journey with you it would make me so happy.

No, I hadn’t – thanks for letting us know!
