#DWWA 2014 – over for another year with 4 Loire regional trophies!

 Entrance to Tobacco Dock

The regional tasting are over for another year. This time the Loire panel threw caution to the chill May winds and awarded seven (7) golds – leading to four regional trophies! (more to follow).

 Henry's Bar: the gathering place 

MWs@breakfast Philip Tuck and Pedro Ballesteros Torres, Spain's only MW

It's not very warm in the tasting room – 
perhaps I should have worn some long-johns today!

 I've got mine on!

Richard – the excellent and very attentive red shirt 
who looked after the Loire panel brilliantly this week 
and who has just started working for Laithwaites
