October's highlights on Purple Pages

Our regular précis of the previous month's best bits has been delayed this month while the team was preoccupied with organising the slew of tasting notes that will be appearing here between now and Christmas (see this guide to our autumn collections).

As our weekly emails enter their third month of existence, we hope you are still finding them useful. This article is to point out a few things that don't appear in those mailouts: the best standalone tasting notes of the month, plus a few headlines from ten years ago, and some previews from our events diary.

STANDOUT...
