    Great interview! I’ve only had a chance to try Gentle Foll’s Rainbow Juice, but it was a very enjoyable drop.

    Thanks! Yep Rainbow Juice has always been a winner, a regular in my fridge over Summer. Highly recommend the rest of Gareth’s wines too 😊

    Very true subject. My cellar becoming more diverse as “ different “ wine types improve year on year. Grenache, sangiovese, caragnan, lagrein, and more taking cellar real estate from Cabernet and Shiraz… bring on more variety!
