Created in support of Mind in Harrogate District and inspired by our friends John and Pat Barnes, this twelve-bottle collection brings together six contrasting wines, with two bottles of each. Sommelier’s Choice will donate 10% of the proceeds from each collection sold to support Mind in Harrogate District’s work.
