Barley Blyton: 2011 Young Wine Writer of the Year

Barley Blyton 

On Monday night I was able to catch up with Barley, who was just back from LA, and take some photos of the 2011 Young Wine Writer of the Year on the occasion of The Circle of Wine Writers Christmas Party. Virginia Wine were The Circle's hosts this year. The party was held in the magnificent Old Hall of the Hon. Society of Lincoln's Inn in Central London.
