Love a Gigondas? ❤️

While Gigondas and other famous Southern Rhone communes like Château-neuf-du-pape produce some exceptional wines that we love very much...

The price point often suggests special occasion wine rather than every day wine, and we're all about both!

Burle est-ce qué is a wine made in Gigondas but the grapes grow on vineyards just outside the commune, making this wine a vin de pays 🍇

Just like a Gigondas, this wine is bursting with notes of vibrant red fruits such as wild strawberries and raspberries and finishes with a spicy kick of black pepper 🍓

Pair with grilled lamb chops or smoky barbecue ribs and a sunny weekend 🌞

🍸 Celebrating Gin 🍸

According to a popular drinks industry magazine, gin has officially overtaken tea as Britain's favourite drink...

We believe there's a time and a place for both but it's no surprise that gin has our vote 😁

With so many shapes, sizes and flavours to choose from, there's a gin for everyone (at least if you're over 18 😆) and many are produced locally and from small independent businesses ❤️

Our wonderful team 🥰

With December and being one of our busiest months, we decided to postpone our Christmas party to February...

The most Christmassy thing about it was all the wine consumed 😂🍷

🍷 Trying New Wines 🍷

We understand that January can be dull, but for us, it's all about trying new wines!

It may look like all we did was hang around the Italian wines but we practically did a world tour in wine on Tuesday 😆

Keep your eyes peeled for new products on our shelves and new event dates coming soon 👀

🔥 Burns Night Wine Pairing Ideas 🔥

If you're celebrating Burns night this weekend with some haggis, neeps and tatties or Scottish beef then here's a few wine ideas that would pair nicely...

🍷 Cabernet Franc - this juicy French grape makes some incredibly complex varietal wines with notes of forest fruits and green pepper that would compliment the savoury, spicy notes in haggis

🍷Shiraz - Also known as 'Syrah' in France, this grape variety is famous for having a spicy notes and a medium-full body that will enhance the spicy notes in the haggis and tannins that can cut through fatty meat

🍷Primitivo - A top seller in our shop and an incredibly versatile grape variety! A burst of ripe red berries and super smooth tannins make this variety a winner for most hearty dinners

🍷Carmenere - A juicy French varietal that has now been very much adopted by Chile. Once thought to be Merlot, this grape is full of plummy notes and famous for its bell pepper and paprika flavours...Perfect with earthy, peppery dishes!

Featuring our new fire, giving off very cosy vibes in the shop! No wines were harmed in the making of this post...😆

What we're drinking...🍷

So far, January has been cold, wet and dull and that's exactly why we're drinking warming, dry and bold wines! 😍

Spanish reds rarely disappoint when fitting this particular brief 🇪🇦

Rioja is a classic warming red made with Tempranillo, and there are some seriously impressive styles and producers on our shelves, including La Rioja Alta, Zinio and Luis Canas...

Pop in to have a chat with us and find out which is the best style for you 👋

❤️ Wine & Chocolate ❤️

If you've been to any of our wine tastings at Krantz, then you may be familiar with Tracy's famous chocolate brownie...

We usually bring this out when we get to the big reds towards the end of the night and it always goes down a treat. 🍫

Pairing chocolate and wine can be controversial since sugar isn't always the best wine friend, however, some pairings can be a match made in heaven 😍

Try a few of our favourite pairings at our tasting event with Cocoa Encounters on the 22nd May!

Anti-Dry January 😆

We love wine ❤️

Just look at the way we look at that bottle of Ripa Delle More from Tuscany 😂

That's just one of the reasons why we're practicing Anti-Dry January, but here's a few more:

- January is cold, wet and dull enough as it is! Wine is warming, delicious and a relaxing treat that is well needed throughout January.

- There are 200 different styles of wine, 1,368 different grape varieties and more bottles of wine in the world than we'll ever get to taste...There's no time to waste!

- Think about the hangover on Sunday the 2nd February...🤯

Enough said, but if you are participating in dry January then you have great willpower and we'll see you on February 1st 🍾

Pairing wine and snacks 😋

What wine goes really well with...?

A Lincolnshire poacher crumpet with pickled walnut ketchup and artichoke veloute from .chef snack menu at in Louth 🧀 🍷

White wine - try with Ocean Thrapsithiri from Idaia winery in Crete with it's incredible freshness, savoury notes of salt and olive brine and a vibrant, lemony acidity 🍋

Red wine - nothing beats pairing hard, nutty cheeses with Amarone...🥰 A delicious blend of Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella from Valpolicella....The intense red fruit notes contrast with the salty, nutty flavour in the dish for a delicious foodie experience!
