Corney & Barrow Ayr Wine Shop

In 1994, Corney & Barrow’s Scottish operation merged with Whighams of Ayr, one of the longest-established wine merchants in the UK.

Set up by a group of prominent Ayrshire merchants and landowners in 1766, Whighams traditionally supplied fine wines and spirits to many of the great houses and estates in southern Scotland. Whighams has occupied the current residence in Academy Street in Ayr, for much of the 243 years of its existence. Robert Burns is thought to have visited the cellars in his role as excise man for the area in t

he late 1780s. The 1766-built cellars were constructed for the sole purpose of storing imported wines, ports and sherries shipped on the company-built vessels, which plied their trade around Europe. These cellars are very much still in use today for long-term customer reserve storage.

Is there a better start to the New Year than with wine and cheese? Of course not!

mcgregor + reid are highlighting Scottish cheese throughout January, starting off with Arran Blue. This cheese is made using the milk of the islands dairy herd. Semi soft in texture, the flavours can vary depending on the age of the cheese, from creamy and slightly salty when young to 'tangy' as it matures. Delicious served with apple or pear on an oatcake.

And as we are not quite ready to say goodbye to sherry season just yet, we have picked Lustau San Emilio Pedro Ximenez to accompany this delicious Scottish cheese. This sweet sherry is a perfect match for the tangy saltiness of blue cheese. To make this wine, grapes are laid out in the sun after picking until they raisin.
Enormously sweet, velvety and soft on the palate, well balanced, with flavours of figs, raisins and dates. Available in full and half bottles.

Stay tuned for more cheese and wine recommendations throughout the month of January!

Two weeks ago, Charles and Wendy of Ambriel Sparkling along with Gill, the CEO of Bumblebee Conservation Trust, joined us for a very special tasting in our cellars. Not only did attendees sample Ambriel's delicious sparkling wines, but they also learned all about the plight of bumblebees, and how important they are to our ecosystem. It was a fantastic evening.

And if you are looking for a gift for the fizzy wine lover in your life, look no further than Ambriel Classic Cuvee Brut Traditional Method NV - this is an elegant English sparkling wine, bright and fine, with flavours of ripe cox apple, pear, and creamy summer berries, with a long, toasty finish.

mcgregor + reid's Cheese of the Month for December is Vacherin Mont D'Or. Produced in the mountainous Jura region of France, it is made using exceptionally sweet milk from the Montbeliarde cow. Vacherin is unctuous and runny when ripe, with a rich buttery flavour, and wrapped in a strip of hand cut spruce bark which imparts the cheese with resinous and earthy notes.
Delicious with fresh baked bread or crackers accompanied by fruits or mixed charcuterie.

And as it is the festive season, we couldn't resist picking a Champagne to go with this delicious cheese. Delamotte Brut NV is fresh, with well-rounded rich fruit and floral notes thanks to the high proportion of Grand Cru Chardonnay grapes. The naturally high acidity of Champagne is absolutely perfect for cutting through the rich creaminess of cheeses like Vacherin. And who even needs an excuse to reach for the Champagne, it's Christmas! 🎁

The whole Champagne Delmaotte range has 15% off over the festive period.
