London: Dirty Dozen tasting@Sardines

Reflecting on the tasting

The Dirty Dozen's inaugural importer tasting proved to be a crowded affair – not through fault of the organisers but because the room booked at 37 Charles Street in London's Mayfair became unusable due to a collapsed ceiling. Instead, as an emergency, the Dozen were offered the courtyard – a much smaller space. As expected there were many interesting things to taste but because of the crowds I concentrated on samples from the Loire – a post to come soon on these.

The Dirty Dozen are: Astrum Wine Cellars, Aubert & Mascoli, Clark Foyster Wines, Dynamic Vines, Flint Wines, fortyfive10˚, h2vin, Indigo Wine, Raymond Reynolds, Roberson Wine, Vine Trail and The Wine Barn.
