The Great French Ride

• 1 min read

Vicky Bishop had a flourishing career in the British wine trade. She was the first manager of Wines of New Zealand in London and then set up her own wine public relations business but has decided to give it all up for a while to ride round the wine regions of France raising money for three very worthwhile charities. Follow her progress on this site. She promises she'll send us regular reports.
