Burgundy 2015 En Primeur tasting in London

As usual, I'm going to a Burgundy En Primeur tasting at the start of January - which this time round is on Friday 9th January. It usually runs from about 1730-2000 and takes place just off Bond Street. If anyone is interested in coming along, let me know ASAP and I can sort out tickets for £25.

He's over 65, so I wouldn't say contemporary, just not as young as Kit D.
