“George is a good mate.
I had only just fully recuperated from a dinner we had (together with Alessandro Stefani!) when he called to float the idea of a tasting. I was on board but we needed to find a stablemate for the night. George suggested his friend James Opie, an old hand now emigrated to NZ and smashing it there. This one should be light-hearted, fun; with some seriously drinkable wines at the heart of it.
I’m not seeing any reason to not see you there!”

“Scared about this one … George’s Chardy disappears from my glass all too quickly. Pisshead-in-Chief David seems to know far too many winemakers. Dangeroux.”

“The big question is: will we be prying that Gum Chardy out of Nick’s fingers before or after dinner at Ling Nan?”
— Will
We look forward to seeing you there!
