Fellow Wine Lovers,
January has arrived in all its glory dragging with it a rash set of resolutions, a few people partaking in the dryathlon (not me guv!), another statement of support for Sam Allardyce, a transfer window and, of course, the start of our marathon training proper. It seems we are not alone, everywhere we run there are others and that certainly wasn’t the case two weeks ago!
So where do we start with the New Year? I think I’d like to start with looking for some new wines. We’ll be putting our palates through their paces over the next few weeks in the search for some freshness and excitement to keep your tastebuds tantalised and our shelves full of personality. We’ll both be brushing up on our knowledge as and when we get an opportunity too.
Wine School
This is what we get up to on a Wednesday evening. We’ll be starting on the 5th February at 8pm here in the store. We’ll pull some chairs round the table, open around 60 different wines over the course of 6 weeks taste and discuss them with you, show you maps, answer questions even discuss the merits of oak, bubbles and blending. Overall its lots of fun, we try to keep Wayne’s jokes to a minimum and we promise no exams. The cost to you is £150 and that covers everything.
January Sales
We can’t offer you the cheapest running shoes in Wimbledon, a half price pewter tankard or an app for your iPlod that’ll drain Somerset.
What we are offering is a cheeky six bottles for the price of five on all wines whilst stocks last. For the number crunchers amongst you that’s a healthy 16.66% off your favourite tasty morsels, so don’t be shy drop in and walk away with a boxful!
Finally…
This weekend sees the 60th Anniversary of TV weather broadcasts. We have no idea if they are more accurate these days but we’ve certainly moved on from the hand drawn maps.
Have a great weekend and wave if you see either of us out running!
