Tony Hill of Bordeaux & Beyond — which imports only wines he and partner John Green would happily drink themselves — returned to the club with three whites, four reds and a champagne quiz. The selection ranged from a crisp Coteaux du Giennois to a Pessac-Léognan, with prices that prompted a substantial order on the night.
