		<title>The Launch of Domaine François Carillon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Thursday saw the launch of our latest exclusivity – Domaine François Carillon – Alison (Buchanan) has done a full offer so I will not repeat that here but give more my view of the wines. The venue was Le Cerle near Sloane Square, which gave proceedings a suitably chic feel. The evening however was a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Several bottles at Planet of the Grapes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week we had two colleagues over from the Hong Office &#8211; Erica and Huge. We decide on a meal out on the Tuesday and headed off to Planet of the Grapes in Bow Lane near mansion house tube.

		<title>On my table over Christmas Dinner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone in the wine industry spends an inordinate amount of time deciding which bottles make it onto the table for Christmas dinner. The murmured query “Christmas wines?” in our office means you can write off the next hour to heated discussion. If we were US Senators it would be our topic for a filibuster. You [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Night to remember with Lodovico Antinori</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our last big dinner of 2011 was a cracker, no older vintages here as this is a new project but one set for great things I think. The actual launch was last year at Mossiman’s so this year was a lower key and focussed dinner here at C&#38;B’s HQ. We began as we always do, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Wednesday night last week I was delighted to host a dinner at Franco&#8217;s in Jermyn Street &#8211; Roberto Conterno of Cantina Giacomo Conterno and his assistant Lauren were in town for this and another dinner (see below). It was a select bunch of hardened Barolo fans. We started with the Delamotte Blanc de Blancs 2002 [...]]]></description>

		<title>2011 Corney &amp; Barrow Winter Tasting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  As far as venues go, the Tower of London tends to speak for itself. It certainly wasn’t difficult to give directions. Once ensconced in the Tower, Champagne was chosen as a starting point by most customers, so let’s do the same. Tempting as it was to go straight for the exquisite Salon 1999 much [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We recently had Michel Tardieu and his son Bastien in the UK for a dinner at The Palm. Before this I did an interview with them both in our tasting room. Please excuse the awful Moustache (link to Movember blog here!) At the tasting / dinner the wines were: Tasting Côtes-du-Rhône, Guy Louis 2009 – [...]]]></description>

		<title>Movember&#8217;s Team La Tache</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During the Summer of this year a friend of mine and I agreed to grow moustaches in order to profoundly irritate a very conservative fellow commuter that we both know well.  Time passed and we forgot about it.  However, when I heard about the Movember charity I remembered our idea and thought it would be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Prüm Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Thursday was very much Prüm day at C&#38;B. Dr Katharina Prüm arrived at our offices in mid morning and led a fascinating and detailed tasting for the team talking about the history of this great (over-used word but not here) estate, the vineyard holdings, the wines and how they go with food. It was [...]]]></description>

Phélan-Ségur dinner. We had the honour and pleasure of not only that of Véronique Dausse (CEO of [...]]]></description>
