It’s been no secret that we’ve been fans and mailing list members of Turley Wine Cellars for a very long time.

You know how when you meet someone once, and yet they make a lasting impression? That is what I thought of Adam LaZarre when I spied him as a fellow judge during the Long Beach Grand Cru competition in 2015 and met him in an elevator following the evening’s celebratory dinner. We may have shared…

“It’s one from the cellar tonight, Eddie!” Looking for something to try, that ended up scoring well with the critics, I got my corkscrew into a St-Emilion 2009 Chateau Monbousquet with my husband Eddie’s blessing. It had been a bit since my last one bottle post so I got my pen and pad ready too….
