Miss Robinson popped into the Ribble Valley recently to film the store for a programme to be shown on the BBC next year. ,'The business is renowned far and wide for its'displays and has
won.the national Bordeaux Window Dressing Competition on three occasions, as well as being named Top Northern Wine Mer chant in 1990 by the Which? Wine Guide and the county’s Inde pendent Wine Merchant of the Year in 1994 by Lancashire Life magazine.
