Fellow Wine Lovers,
If you’re reading this then we think you probably know what has happened. We won’t dwell on the three Prime Ministers, four Chancellors or five gold rings.
Alex is resolutely refusing to wear red just to avoid any cases of mistaken identity by the young folk around town and we’ve very nearly completed our Christmas pilgrimage through the albums Spotify thinks we need to listen too. Clearly we have listened to too much Buena Vista Social Club and not enough Stereophonics this year.
We’re busy sorting your Christmas wine stocks but if you’re stuck for a last minute gift, might we suggest a gin from Decanter’s Top 10 for Christmas.
The Eclectic Gin Society Spice Blend (£39)
A great Christmas gift for wine lovers who are also partial to craft gin. This is blended in small batches of 140 bottles exclusively for Vindependents, a buying group for independent UK wine merchants. The quirky label design shows a collection of objects representing each different merchant. The Spice Blend is a classic London Dry style, with mellow baking spice aromas, lots of cinnamon and star anise. The punchy, super-spicy palate is balanced by rounded fruitiness, crisp apple and juniper bite, with a pink peppercorn finish. Makes a superbly spicy G&T. – Julie Sheppard, Decanter Dec 5th, 2022.
We’ll be here tomorrow, Christmas Eve, from 10am till 4pm but do come earlier rather than later as Alex has a bit of a drive ahead of him once we’ve locked up.
We’d like to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas. If it’s not too late to move from the naughty list to the nice list, go for it – we’ll be rooting for you!
