Bartender of the Week; Joey, Epernay

Each week we get to prop up the bar, turn the tables and quiz Manchester's favourite bartenders on their favourite, tipples, taverns and tunes. After all, what better way to get an insight into a bar than from the person serving the liquid love?

This week we head to one of Manchester's most popular wine retreats, Epernay, and chat to one of their bartenders, Joey.
