Breaky Bottom – Peter’s Notes – August 2024
26th September 2024
I was recently rummaging through folders of ancient newspaper cuttings and bumped into this – an article from the ‘Sunday Express Magazine’ (circa 1987) by my old chum Oz Clarke.
I was one of a small number of UK vineyards back then, all of us still winemakers. I feel embarrassed reading much of the text, flatteringly ‘over-the-top’, as I still like to retain a degree of modesty about my achievements.
Nevertheless, it’s a great reminder of Oz’s visit, complete with photos, and the fun we had teasing each other, and chatting not only about wines of the world but our shared love of great music, acting, poetry and prose – and all this nearly 40 years ago!
