- Wines the French Like to Keep for Themselves
Tim and Jill North of Winchester's Joie de Vin brought eight wines that rarely make it beyond France's borders — selections from the Loire, Bordeaux and the Languedoc drawn from Tim's network of family producers and small vignerons. Twenty-eight members attended, and the evening ended with around £700 of orders placed.
