Ruddy Vintners


Spent a great evening up in the City yesterday entertaining around 100 of our (my software company) best clients. My gift to them was to personally host a wine-tasting, we all partook of a little wine quiz with the winner picking up a decent magnum of fizz. The venue was fantastic, Vintners Hall on Upper Thames St. home to The Worshipful Company of Vintners and incorporated by royal charter in 1363, a highly appropriate setting for an evening of vinous delights. After dinner we invited Amber Rudd to speak to us (for money of course) she was very impressive giving us an insiders view to the current state of play in the election and interesting opinion on the leading players. I left thinking it's a shame she's not still being a "grown-up" voice of reason at the centre of things any more. Anyway, the tasting was a success, people seemed to leave a lot merrier than when they arrived which is always a good sign, and I had a mixed case of 12 left over, yum!, roll on Christmas holidays and New Year!
