Those vineyard owners who have been hoping for rain may be questioning what they wished for. Vines, like humans, really don\u2019t like standing in water. On 20 March, Tim and Sandy Fawle hosted the tasting at Los Amigos in Javea. Nicholas Hammeken presented a selection of his wines to 59 members and guests. For the detailed report click {here}.
