Jonny's latest finds straight from the vineyards.
I know what you're thinking ... it's a tough old life, but someone has to do it.
Actually the hit rate is at least a dozen cellars visited before you stumble across a bit of magic. Not that he's looking for any sympathy of course.
Here are some new finds from Jonny's recent trips to Spain and France for you to try. We promise you won't be disappointed! |
