| Fevre wines on ice awaiting tasting |
The annual Villa Ponciago, Bouchard Pere & Fils and Willian Fevre tasting, put on by Woodman Wines and Spirits, is one of the highlights of the spring tasting season - for many it is the first taste of newly finished vintage of Burgundian wine, this time it's the 2013. Then of course there is the beauty of Beaujolais that is Villa Ponciago - and we'll start there:
