Hugh Johnson: ‘I’ve formed a bond with Grillo and flirted with Verdicchio’

I’d like to say we took advantage of the lockdown and its related commotion to do a stock-take, explore new avenues, turn over intriguing stones, widen and deepen our drinking, taking careful notes as we went.

None suffered more horribly than the growers of Germany’s Ahr valley, where floodwaters caused by the fou ...

Walls’ hidden gems: Domaine Richaud, Cairanne
