Simon on fire last night, we have a tasting every day this week until the 26th August inclusive.
5 wines for £15 is probably the best value wine you will come across at the Fringe! https://beyonk.com/provider/fp12ehiy-great-grog?portal=true&theme=32B0A2

I was going through some old photos of the Pleasance shop and came across this Edinburgh Fire Brigade photo from the 1890s.

Preparation of the tasting room at the shop in the Pleasance. "Taking shape" might be an overstatement, however, industrial chic for sure. The barrel lift is a thing of beauty and worth visiting us to check out, if nothing else!

Final red on the list and two times top seller is
Primitivo Appassimento Carolmagno £10.35
Big, juicy, utterly delicious and dangerously drinkable wine. Some partially dried grapes are added to the juice (like a mini Amarone) for extra flavour and oooph.

https://www.greatgrog.co.uk/product/primitivo-appassimento-carlomagno-2021/

28/06/2024

Last white on the list is a perennial Grog favourite
Esporao Reserve Branco £16.99
Creamy, elegant barrel fermented Burgundy style white with intense flavours of peach, grapefuit and nutmeg. Beautifully balanced with a long, finish. An extremely classy drop.

https://www.greatgrog.co.uk/product/exceptional-burgundy-style-white-without-the-price-tag/

27/06/2024

We were pleasantly surprised this tasty off piste blend made it onto the list
Darling Cellars Shiraz, Malbec, Grenache £10.35
A delicious blend and unusal blend. Fresh, plump and juicy wine full of cherries, plums, candy floss and black pepper.

https://www.greatgrog.co.uk/product/darling-cellars-smg-2017/

26/06/2024

Four Italian wines made it into the top sellers list an this one is a doozy
Fiano Carlomagno £9.75
Full, fruity and ripe wine with bags of tropical fruit, melon, zesty lime and grapefruit. Well balanced, intense and long flavoured.

https://www.greatgrog.co.uk/product/ripe-wine-fiano-carlomagno/

25/06/2024

The only Ozzie wine to make it to the best sellers list but a total crowd pleaser
McPherson 'Jock's' Cabernet £10.39
Big cassis, blackcurrant and blackberry fruit with a chunk of bold yet well integrated spicy oak. Couple of bottles of these and some good company, sorted!

https://www.greatgrog.co.uk/product/mcphersons-jocks-cabernet-sauvignon-2018/

24/06/2024

This absolute Bistro classic got a well deserved spot
Picpoul de Pinet L'Ormarine £10.35
Floral and enticing on the nose, exuberantly fresh on the palate with ripe peach, pear drop fruit, a slightly salty edge and underlying minerality. Incredibly fruity yet elegant and concentrated.

https://www.greatgrog.co.uk/product/brilliant-with-seafood/

23/06/2024

We weren't at all surprised this was a popular choice
Nero D'Avola Rupe Secca £9.45
Big, soft & spicy, like a warm hug on a bed of baked plum crumble. Top notch wine for under a tenner, what's not to like?

https://www.greatgrog.co.uk/product/nero-davola-rupe-secca/

22/06/2024

Only 1 fizz made in to the top list
Cremant de Loire Sauvion £12.99
Dont' be confused by the pink label or the word Sauvion (the winerie's name). It is a classic Traditional Method Blancs de Blancs fizz. A great alternative to Champagne with ye**ty, brioche flavours, lovely fresh, crisp apple flavours and ripe peach. Rich and deliciously frothy.

https://www.greatgrog.co.uk/product/alternative-champagne-cremant-loire-sauvion/

21/06/2024

Not surprised this made it to the top of the list as it's a cracker
Ernie Els Big Easy Red £20.09
Silky and ripe, bold and powerful. Rich and deliciously fruit driven with bags of sweet red cherry fruit, cassis, mulberry and redcurrant. As big and smooth as it's name sake.

https://www.greatgrog.co.uk/product/big-easy-ernie-els/

20/06/2024

The next welll deserved spot goes to a staff favourite
Fritz Walter Riesling £11.35
Our champion Riesling, both in taste and price. A classic slightly off-dry riesling, with sweet lime, under-ripe pear, gooseberry and sour peach supported strongly with the steely minerality all good Rieslings need to have.

https://www.greatgrog.co.uk/product/fritz-walter-off-dry-riesling/

19/06/2024

Next up is
Saperavi Tamanda £11.29
Native to Georgia, the Saperavi grape is a teinturier grape meaning that it has red flesh as well as red skins, a pretty rare occurance. It gives the wine a gloriously dark colour. This one is rich and robust but soft red with dark berry fruits and cherries that will be a hit with Malbec fans.

https://www.greatgrog.co.uk/product/saperavi-tamanda-2020/

18/06/2024

First up in our top Wine Fair top sellers case is
Pecorino Archivio £11.30
The Pecorino grape is indegenous to Central Italy and here it is gently pressed before natural fermentation and a few months oof lees ageing. The resulting wine is a delightful mix of fruity (pears, melon, peach), mineral and textured with a long finish.

https://www.greatgrog.co.uk/product/archivio-pecorino/
