We were invited to the Vinimark trade tasting at the CTICC
this year but arrived very late as we had come home to discover we had been
burgled the previous day. We had spent the day waiting for the police and got
there very late and rather stressed. Vinimark director Ginette de Fleuriot gave
us a glass of Bolly as a rescue remedy
It was a very well attended tasting with many wines to
sample
