#159 The art of blending with Mary Bridges Head Winemaker at Gusbourne and how the love to Northern Rhone influences her winemaking

Next round of the English Wine Weeks. Today I am joined by the
lovely Mary Bridges, Head Winemaker of Gusbourne. A very special
episode for me because the 2012 Blanc de Blancs opened me the
world of English wines and made me a big fan since day one.
