Congratulations to my favourite tipples - the sparkling wines from Ridgeview Vineyards at Ditchling near Brighton, here in Sussex. Not only have they won the best sparkling wine at this year’s English Wine Awards: they have scooped third and fourth places as well! Indeed, it was a clean sweep for Sussex as Breaky Bottom, from Firle near Lewes, took silver medal position. I guess we’ll just have to try them all again to ensure that we agree with the judges!
