Fantastic evening yesterday - wines absolutely on point 👌 José on excellent form making new friends in Highams Park and the bar buzzing on the sunshine 🌞

We'll keep pouring José's wines all week, with a new Tandem wine flight from today🍷

Thank you amigo!

🍷 Wednesday Tandem Takeover with José

Thrilled - and getting a little nostalgic - to finally host José from for an informal tasting at the bar tomorrow night 🇪🇦

Some of the die-hard Tandem fans may remember the lockdown tastings via - when José brought some much needed colour to our Sunday evenings. Earlier I even dipped into some of the broadcast of the tour of the half-built bar back in March 2021 - probably not advisable to rewatch unless you have a couple of hours spare!

🌊 Just 50km from San Sebastian and the Atlantic, the Yerri Valley is in the cooler North of Navarra, where grapes are often picked three or four weeks later than in the South of the region. The result is a really diverse selection of wines, vibrant, fresh yet complex, many of which have become household names in Highams Park.

🌴 Tomorrow José will be in the back garden pouring six Tandem wines, with Garnacha, Tempranillo, Cabernet, Merlot, Viura and Viognier featuring.

🥂 Set up will like the old days in the shop, you can turn up any time from 6pm for a free taste and chat with José. The wines will all be available to buy by the glass, with a 10% discount on all take away bottles on the night.

No need to book, hope to see you tomorrow 🍷

¡Hasta Luego!

New Faves Case ~ New Wines ~ New Month (nearly...)

🌿 Happy Leap Day! With it brings a new Favourites Case for March, which includes the aromatic yet bracing new blend of two indigenous grapes (Moschofilero and Roditis) from Monemvasia Winery in the South of Greece. We also have a fantastic new pair of wines from Yecla (a high plateau inland from Alicante, in the South East of Spain).

🥂 In other wine news - we've recently discovered some new White Burgundy from Thierry Drouin, based in Vergisson in the South, that you won't need to re-mortgage to drink! Although if you're splashing out (or perhaps just got engaged) then the ethereal 2013 Blanc Blancs from Hoffman and Rathbone in Sussex....
..order by midnight tonight for local delivery tomorrow morning.

The Christmas Long Lunch Case (2023)

The most talked about wine case in Highams Park (probably) has made a spectacular return 🎄

The long lunch case is loosely based around the Christmas Day meal, where we match wines to each part of the day 🥂

Pierre Mignon Grande Reserve 2015
A recent discovery for Vinoramica, a rich and toasty style of vintage champagne with notes of dried fruit and plum.

Up next an old favourite
Vouvray “Cuveé Silex”
To match the starters

From the Loire the Macon Verzé from Nicolas Maillet
Expressive yet saline style of Chardonnay for a fuller style of white to go with richer dishes.

Up next we have
Domaine de l’lris Moulin à Vent
An intense perfumed style of Beaujolais which is an alternative to Burgundy for the traditional Christmas meal,
to balance this we have next the heavy hitting

Vacqueyras, from Domaine de la charbonniere, a succulent, spicy, smooth, southern Rhone red.

And to finally finish we have
Barros 10 year old Tawny Port
It’s savoury, complex, yet smooth style make it a fantastic all rounder especially with the cheese board.

The picture is a bottle of Maury the sweet red from south of France which you can also swap into the case 🎄🎄

Merry Christmas

A Wine Flight Special 🍷🍷🍷

3 wines from the same producer, produced from small parcels of land in the same high altitude region.

All vinified in a similar way in concrete egg-shaped tanks.

The only difference is the grape varieties
Criolla
Charbono
Cabernet Franc

We don’t have a huge amount of stock due to the production of each wine being tiny so please do try pop in for a taste

😍 Open to Taste in the Shop 😍 🥂Ca dei Frati “I Frati” Turbiana 2018 Lugana, Italy 🍋 Mineral, tropical fruit, peaches, lemons 💬 This family-owned vineyard on the shores of Lake Garda has developed from 12 hectares in 1987 to over 200. The increase in quantity has been matched by an increase in quality and today they are the best producer in Lugana. The grapes are hand-picked with absolutely no skin contact to retain their delicate perfume, and lees-ageing gives a greater richness on the palate and flintiness on the nose. Turbiana is also known as Trebbiano di Lugana and Verdicchio. 🍷 Enira Bessa Valley Merlot, Cabinet Sauvignon 2016 Bulgaria 🫐 Black fruit, vanilla, spice, smooth tannins 💬 Count Stephen von Neipperg, who owns several vineyards in Bordeaux, felt that the clay-limestone soils and continental climate of the Bessa Valley in Bulgaria also had the potential to produce great wines from Bordeaux grape varieties, so in 2001 he purchased land in the area and started producing wines. The main cellar is dug into a hillside which provides natural temperature and humidity control. The grapes are harvested and sorted twice by hand and the vines are supported using only acacia sticks.

🥂 Open four years ago yesterday 🥂 🎥 This great short film from Jonny Pollard tells the story of our little shop. There are too many people to thank who have helped get us to where we are today. Most of all thank you to all our lovely customers who have stuck with us through thick and through thin! I'll be in the shop tonight, looking wistfully at the shelves as per usual... 🥳

🎥 August Tasting Dates 🎥 This was the last tasting we had at the shop, February 2020, which feels like a lifetime ago. Thanks to all the very convivial participants and to jonnypollard.co.uk for capturing the atmosphere so well. 🥂 The famous tastings are back, with two dates in August, Sunday 1st and Sunday 15th at 6pm. As well as ensuring a Covid-safe environment - from the comfort of the back room of the bar - we're taking the wines to the next level. And I'm not just saying that... After all this time, if you're going to have a tasting then you've got to go all out, right? 🧀 There will of course be cheese, charcuterie and other nibbles to match each of the 8 wines. See link below or email [email protected] for more info. https://www.vinoramica.com/product-page/vinoramica-tasting-evening-fine-wines-and-fizz Cheers 🍷
