Quite a ground-breaking event really. Here's what they wrote:
"Laithwaites has been through a renaissance in the past couple of years, with a new buying team now headed up by the highly regarded former Waitrose man, Justin Howard-Sneyd. This extensive tasting, held amid the panoramic views at the top of Millbank Tower, provided ample evidence of how far they have travelled. Highlights included a trio of well-chosen Portuguese, some excellent southern French and a smattering of brave, quirky selections from the likes of Russia and Greece. Standard delivery is £6.99 for as many cases as you want to order."
