Wine talks in the big tent: first, my friend Mike from my favourite Greyfriars Vineyard, producers of wondrous English Sparkling Wines and gorgeous Pinot Gris

Hi Carrie, am running the Cecchi Challenge on Thursday - I need your address to send the blind tasting samples to. Please can you email it to me?
