Hope that everyone has a fantastic time at @HampshireVines festival today. Sad that I'm not able to make it this year, looks like perfect weather for it @ExtonVineyard #EnglishSparkling
Looks like the forecasted rain and thunder is staying away (for now)... Perfect excuse to be outdoors with a @ChapelDownWines Bacchus Gin and tonic. Super refreshing with a slice of pink grapefruit. #gin #Bacchus
2We didn't let the rain stop us; it was great to catch up with @kirsty1smith and Nick Hall of @HerbertHallWine in Marden this afternoon for a tour, chat and #EnglishSparkling tasting. Delicious wines, Organically grown and made with love in the heart of #Kent. #EnglishWine
