One or two "little" "transgressions were pointed out to the caterers including sauce that arrived so late that the fish had been finished - a wine water who was spilling lots of wine and a member who was a slow drinker who found it hard to get a second glass of red wine.
The reply included, "All members of our team are fully briefed......it is beyond our control how much they actually understand"

The Best of the Thames Valley - An English Wine Tasting - Coopers' Hall - Devonshire Square - 22nd September 1993
The wines were presented by David Ealand, owner of Chiltern Valley Wines, after a short visit to the Coopers' Museum in the basement of this beautiful Georgian Town House. Regretably there is no information available on the wines that were tasted or peoples reaction to them on file. However, in Dec 2011 annual production at David’s Chiltern Valley Vineyard and Winery has increased to over 120,000 bottles. David Ealand uses the very latest wine making techniques and winery equipment to combine a respect for tradition with minimum interference with the natural processes. David advises that the grapes used for his wine production back in 1993 would have been Madeline Angevine, Reichensteiner and Bacchus.
