My two lovely friends got married last Monday in London with 20 of their closest friends from around the world looking on.

I have done it…or shall I say my army of friends, my fearlessly thirsty partner and me have done it. After buying four cases (yes…four entire cases or 48 glorious 750ml bottles) of Adina’s 2005 very last vintage of Petit Verdot, we have officially finsihed the last bottle.
