We’ve received a new shipment of our beautiful Flûte Enchantée in time for Christmas 🎄 If you don’t know it already, it’s a delicious Champagne method, Champagne blend sparkling wine, made just down the road from Champagne… But, at half the price, it’s the perfect addition to any festive meal! It’s also available at 15% off when purchased as part of one of our Christmas cases - check out the link in our bio for the full offer. 🎅🏻 🃏
Highlights from our walk around tastings last weekend 🍷🍷🍷
We had so much fun showing off some of our favourite bottles to our lovely customers, and it was a joy to see everyone chatting amongst themselves over a glass of something delicious.
We’ll be releasing the dates and themes for our Thursday night tastings for the rest of the year very soon, including our popular Champagne and Icons events, so keep your eyes peeled!
We’ve been promoting the wonderfully diverse region of Bordeaux as part of #BordeauxWineMonth, opening dozens of bottles across our stores for our customers to try. From a fresh, aromatic white to a beautiful terroir-driven Claret to a luscious Sauternes, there truly was something for everyone, as well as every meal!
It was a joy to see everyone getting involved, whether they were listening intently to our team tell the stories behind the bottles at one of our ticketed events, or simply chatting among themselves over one of the many samples we offered while they popped into buy a bottle. A fantastic reminder (just in case we needed one!) that there is a treasure trove of fantastically-priced goodies to be found around the Gironde, and we’ll always be happy to help you discover them!
The Moulin de Peyronin Blanc and Chateau Cantenac were particular hits. Did you taste any Bordeaux wines with us? Let us know your favourites in the comments!
Such a fabulous weekend celebrating all things Cava for this year’s #cavaweek - thank you to everyone who came along, sampled this underrated fizz and took a bottle or two home with them once they realised what all the fuss is about! @cava.do
We’ve had quite a few wines land in our stores over the past couple of months, and what better way to introduce them to you than to give you a little discount? We’ve put together a case of 12 and taken 10% off; head to the link in our bio and it’ll take you straight there!
We were thrilled to be invited to @westwellwines in Kent by @uncharted_wines last week, and while both the weather and the train timetable were decidedly “British”, thankfully the wines certainly proved that this little island can shine at something!
We were welcomed with a flute of their Pelegrim sparkling wine, which set the tone with its minerally core rounded out with tasty notes of toast, pears and apricots. Our full glasses accompanied us on our tour of the vineyards on the chalk/sand soils at the foot of the North Downs.
Just as the rain really started to come down, we were taken through their cellar door for lunch and to taste more of what the estate has to offer, including a white and a rose made from Pinot Meunier, a white and orange wine made from Ortega, all of which are fantastic examples of what these grapes can achieve in the right hands.
We have the Pelegrim on our shelves, and we may well have one or two more in-store soon!
Thanks to everyone involved for making it such a wonderful trip.
