Launch night for The Oxford Companion to Wine
Last night, Vinoteca in Kings Cross hosted a launch party for the fourth edition of The Oxford Companion to Wine. I went along and took a few pictures. The wine on offer was the white and red Bordeaux by Château Reynon, and an additional Spanish orange wine made from Airén - all delicious.
