Wine Grapes weighs in at over three kilos
News about 2013 RAW Fair
'Talks.
Although these have not yet been
finalized, we can confirm that Jancis
Robinson MW and her two co-authors José Vouillamoz and Julia Harding
MW, will be coming to RAW for a talk and book signing of Wine Grapes, Jancis’
most recent publication. This is apparently the first time the magnificent trio
will have come together since their book launch back in the autumn 2012 so we
are extremely proud to be able to host them at RAW. Details of their talk will
follow in due course. Copies of Wine Grapes will be available for sale at the
fair.
The Popoff
We are thrilled to let you know that the RAW/TOWT
sailboat is definitely coming to the UK! The Popoff will be leaving
St Nazaire at the beginning of May and is due to arrive in St Katharine’s Dock
a few days later. She will be bringing with her lots of wine (including some
from Olivier Cousin, who will also be on the boat) and a handful of vignerons, as well as a few Breton
vegetables and some salt from the Breton Marshes.
We will keep you updated as to her ETA in
case you would like to come down to the docks to welcome her to the UK. We also
have a few spots onboard if you would like to join the crew in Tilbury (Essex),
where she will be stopping off to drop wine, and then sail up to the Thames to
Tower Bridge on the final leg of Popoff's journey. If you’d like to be entered
into the draw for one of the lucky places, visit our ‘Big Boat
Appeal’ page. Or if you'd like to find out about why cargo sailing
is so important, check out our post on "Why sail?"'
