NewsBy Richard WoodardThe winner of the inaugural Taylor’s Port Vintage Years UK Sommelier Challenge has been revealed: Roxane Dupuy, executive sommelier at Row on 5 in Savile Row, London. Dupuy was one of 20 entrants who gathered in Berry Bros. & Rudd’s historic Napoleon Cellar on 14 July for the first edition of the competition, designed to allow the UK’s top sommeliers to demonstrate their vintage Port expertise. During the competition, db tasted through the six vintage Ports included in the blind tasting with David Guimaraens. Hygiene practices were not as good then – we were not affected for vintage Port, but in lesser wines. Yes, vintage Port has got to have colour and structure to age, but this has something which is more important, and that is definition.
