Giving thanks for John Avery MW
22 May 2012 by Jancis Robinson
What a busy day yesterday! First I had to give a talk on Global Trends in Wine at Excel as everyone was preparing for the three-day London International Wine Fair, which opens there today. Then I had the pleasure of experiencing the efficient combination of Docklands Light Railway and the overground railway to get me to the first of London's two concurrent natural wine fairs . It was less good at transporting me to the main event of the day, John Avery's memorial service in the church of St James Garlickhythe opposite Vintners' Hall, so I had to walk there from Brick Lane. (How do women who routinely wear heels manage it?)...
