Anna Bradley asked some pretty interesting questions, and being called a wine expert gave me more food for thought. Anna’s piece begins like this:
‘When I’m at the bottle shop searching for wine, I’ve really got no idea what to look for.

I’ve always assumed that the more expensive the wine, the better the quality and taste – then I met Kim Brebach.
