It's Furmint February✨🇭🇺

This (delicious) white variety is predominantly found in Hungary, in fact it's over 90% of plantings! It is capable of producing crisp dry whites all the way through to some of the sweetest wines in the world. The versatility of this variety makes it incredibly fascinating and certainly one to try!

Manda is all set to enjoy the wonderfully bubbly Boschendal Brut Rosé this Friday! Here’s what she has to share about it... "No question, my Valentine pick is the pink sparkler that is Boschendal Rosé. It’s a long-time favourite, just like my husband!"

With Valentine's Day around the corner, our staff will be recommending some of their Valentine's picks this week!💘

From our favourite French man, Romain, a delightful Greek red, the Domaine Hatzimichalis, Schioppettino/Limnio Red:

"For a romantic Valentine’s dinner, choose a wine that’s light, fresh, and full of surprises. The Domaine Hatzimichalis Schioppettino Limnio is just that—a unique blend of Schioppettino and Limnio, offering a delicate fizz that refreshes the palate before unfolding into dried fig, red berries, and warm spices.

The mystery begins with its white-coated bottle, setting the stage for a delightful moment and creating the perfect toast to love and unforgettable flavours." 🍷😋

We are delighted to announce that we were the winners in the ‘Excellence in Training and Education’ category at this year’s Drinks Retailing Awards. This is the first year that this award has been offered, and we are thrilled to be the first winners!

Happy International Aszú Day! 🍷 This iconic sweet wine definitely deserves its own special day! Did you know that this winemaking method has been around for over 450 years in Tokaj, Hungary? It truly showcases their amazing climate and culture.

The Szepsy family are deeply link to this style of wine with Szepsy Laczko Mate being the first person to write the method down, and eighteen generations later, István Szepsy is using the same traditions to make this wine.

If you’re looking for the perfect time to treat yourself, Christmas is it! Pair it with delicious fruit-based desserts like apple crumble or some tasty blue cheeses. Cheers! 🎉

LAST FEW TICKETS REMAINING! 🍷🇮🇹

We are delighted to welcome Andrea Cecchi to the Jericho Wine Rooms this November, to deliver a fascinating masterclass on the wines of the southern Tuscan estate of Val delle Rose.

This tasting will feature the estate’s two Vermentino expressions – one light and fresh and the other complex and intense. We’ll taste two contrasting styles of Morellino di Scansano, as well as a full bodied and intense Cabernet Franc. Our host Andrea is a true expert in Tuscan wine and president of the Famiglia Cecchi – a wine company with over 125 years of history and which owns five estates in the region.

Val delle Rose is one of our favourite producers – we’re really looking forward to tasting through their range with you!
