Feteasca alba: the £9.25 sparkling wine everyone should be drinking this summer
This was about a decade ago and the afternoon was spontaneous, sandwiched between a busy schedule of events. The big one was a dinner put on by the Ratui family who were celebrating long-lasting relationships with high society in the UK and who had invited Ken to oversee the food. Charles — now King, but then Prince — was in town at some point, though I wasn't allowed to meet him. I was just there to write about Romanian pinot noir, newly being sold in Waitrose. I think Jeremy was writing something about pudding.
