News from the vine!
Just to say how much we enjoyed the evening last night at Nox . . .
NOX is a superb restaurant, live singing and piano music from Ian and beautiful recitals from Claire, and you yourself Colin as knowledgeable as ever on our evening wines. What more could we ask for.
Thank you so much
Violet and Terry

Hola Colin,
A great night in a venue we have not been to before, but we will again !
A suggestion* …. it would be great to have a note of the wines perhaps with your tasting notes and also names of the dishes sampled.
Many thanks,
