And what day is it today? Thursday! Yay!

Happy Beaujolais nouveau day, everybody!

20/11/2024

What day is it tomorrow? Thursday. Yes, that’s right, but the particular Thursday it is is the 3rd one in November. And that means it is also Beaujolais Nouveau day. Yay!

We’ve said it before, right here, that life, occasionally, gets in the way of business. Life, in this sense (and more generally), often takes the form of parenting.

The shop will be closing early this evening to allow parenting to happen. We hope you understand.

In a healthy work/life balance life should always t***p* work.

*Today, of all days, I cannot bring myself to type out that word, even without a capital ‘T’. If you have a vote, use it. Wisely.*

*And by ‘wisely’ you know what I mean. Don’t make me even have to think about typing out that word again!

As it says. Wine tasting blah blah blah.

Will be opening late today, but as soon after normal opening as I can make it. Leave any vital wine restocking trips till after 2pm to be on the safe side.

Apologies, as ever, for any inconvenience.

The Moldovan wine department just doubled in size! Along with the new vintage of Jumi-Juma white (an unusual and unusually delicious blend of Chardonnay & riesling), we now have its sibling red.

Doldora is 100% Saperavi, the grape you may be familiar with in the form of deeply dark & tannic wines from the other end of the Black Sea, in Georgia. If you are, you’ll recognise & appreciate the earthy, herbal undertones, but where some Georgian Saperavis can be mouth strippingly dry & sternly intense, this one is juicy, bright (while still deep & darkly inky) and maybe just a little bit more fun!

There’s a wonderful story told by Didi Hamann about Seven Göran Eriksonn that involves drinking champagne by a swimming pool at 10 in the morning on a professional football trip, the gist of which is the importance of celebrating life. In that spirit we will be closing a little early this evening, not to drink champagne by a swimming pool, but to enjoy some quality time with the kids.*

As ever in such circumstances, we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

* You might have thought we’d have had enough of that sort of thing after a long summer holiday, but the schedules of life and school holidays don’t always synchronise quite as neatly as they might.

While it would be an exaggeration to say that the circumstances are entirely beyond our control, sometimes in life choices have to be made.

We sincerely hope no wine emergencies will arise as a direct result of the choice we have made, and unreservedly apologise if any do, or indeed if anyone is inconvenienced short of actual emergency.

And, without wishing to make excuses, or divert blame, we’d recommend anyone who has a fundamental problem with the basic principle of skipping out early to take it up with the Prime Minister (for now).

Getting creative with the framing!

Easter weekend.

Open as normal Saturday & Sunday.

Closed Easter Monday.

Happy bunnies.

25/03/2024

Sip and spit. Sip and spit. Will it never end?

Well, yes, but not in time for us to open before 3pm today.

Apologies for the inconvenience, as ever.

18/03/2024

What it says. This will apply both today, Monday 18th March, and tomorrow, Tuesday 19th.

Apologies in advance for anyone who is going to be in desperate need of wine between midday and 3pm today or tomorrow. But if this is you, perhaps we need to talk…

Cheers!

This is the time of year that wine importers are keen to show off their new portfolios, with freshly discovered producers and new vintages of old favourites. This can mean new and exciting wines (yay!); it can also, unfortunately, mean price rises (boo! Although this year, so far, and keeping fingers crossed and in contact with wood, increases have mainly been in the range of small to insignificant). The other thing it can mean is that those importers need to clear space in their warehouses and put out their bin end lists.

This is a fun time. Because while I can’t absolutely guarantee that wine that falls into the bin end category will never actually be rubbish, an awful lot of it is quite the opposite. Bin end lists are often stuffed with obscure, esoteric and interesting wines that have failed to find a market not for any lack of deliciousness on their part, but on account of the market’s inherently conservative preference for the known quantity. More fool the market.

It’s also a good time to lay in a supply of more immediately recognisable things that are, at normal prices, just stupidly expensive (yes, Burgundy, I’m looking at you…)

Anyway, I’ve been having fun, rummaging the bins, and among other things (Burgundy, for instance) I’ve come up with this handful representing the length of Italy.

From Piedmont, a dry moscato and a Barbaresco (hardly obscure, but definitely living in the shadow of Barolo); a red/white native combo from Campania, of Piedirosso and Coda di Volpe; and a Sicilian Insolia. Of which only the Barbaresco’s on the shelf at over 20 quid.

Happy days!

21/02/2024

Like it says. I have a wine tasting this morning (I know…) and while I’d hope to be back in time to open as usual, it’s possible I might not. Apologies etc.

31/12/2023

A slight change of plan…

Happy New Year everyone - we’ll see you again a day further into 2024!

21/12/2023
