Posted on May 13, 2012 by Andrew Barrow in PhotographsA rare privilege, a few weeks ago, of a chance to sample some Texan wines here in the UK. You don’t see much, if any, Texan wine over here so to have these samples sent direct from the winery...

Goretti Wine Corks
Posted on May 6, 2012 by Andrew Barrow in PhotographsNothing says 'great time' quite like a grand collection of corks; and say what you like about screw-caps but they just ain't as photogenic! Taken during a marvellous stand-up buffet at the Goretti Winery this was just one little pile...

The Wine List
