Day at our Wine Arch in Vinopolis planning our grand Christmas Wine Show in November

I think it may be even better than the 40th birthday event we did last year in the Horticultural Hall.

There will be two halls of wine producers, a hall for 'wine theatre'! A hall for customers to meet up with some of us - like the Buyers and the Advisors and Merchants who look after them. And me.

Then there's our Arch itself a great hall with a huge tasting table.

All in one place. Music, lights jollity. Just what you need at the end of November. Make a note. Will be advertised soon.

Evening to Barbara' s vineyard for the annual 'lifting of the wires'. Vines thriving. Saw our first vine flower. A week earlier that last year!
