The Vineyards of Britain by Ed Dallimore (Review)
I think I’ve mentioned Ed Dallimore a few times in recent articles, and a while ago I promised a review of his book, The Vineyards of Britain. Now I’ve finally found time to put fingers to keyboard to tell you … Continue reading
We Don’t Want Any Crap in Our Wine by Camilla Gjerde (Book Review)
