Johnson recalls a similar sea venture he undertook with Tony Laithwaite in 1975 aboard the Marques.

About Me
- Wine and the City
- I'm a journalist with a passion for wine, food and travel. By day I work for The Drinks Business magazine and by night I attend events in exploration of what London has to offer the urban wine lover. I aim to recount my findings in this blog. I also strive to prove that wine, like art, is subjective. There are no right or wrong answers. Wine is something everyone can savour and enjoy.
