Fellow Wine Lovers,
I don’t know about you, but it seems like only yesterday I wrote to you all. I find time normally passes at a more sedate pace at this time of year, but this week has been fairly action packed.
We each spent a day at a seminar on South America that concentrated on Cabernet Sauvignon and its immediate family and provided us with the opportunity to taste some delicious and exciting wines (and a couple that weren’t!) from some new regions of Chile and Argentina with some European equivalents. Italian Carménère anybody? The panel consisted five top winemakers, a leading viticulturist and was chaired by award winning journalist and local boy Tim Atkin MW. We find that hearing it from the horse’s mouth, so to speak, is always exciting, especially when it’s at the cutting edge like that.
We’ve done a fair few deliveries to members of the Park Vintners Wine Club this week too. This is where we deliver monthly a box of 6 or 12 bottles to your door. There is a six bottles for £50 or six bottles for £100 option, so if you like the sound of it drop us a line and we’ll sign you up. Details attached…
Wine School
Term starts 5th Feb, classes held at 8pm here in the shop (where we’re surrounded by wine!) and over six weeks you’ll taste about 60 different wines with no exam at the end. Does that sound like fun? We thought so and have attached details for that too.
Sale
I would like to announce at this point that, as ever, everything is for SALE in our shop.
To sweeten it a little though, we continue to offer our January deal where all wine is ‘6 for 5’. This is not a ‘cheapest item free of charge’ offer either – it is a straight 16.66% discount, for those interested in the maths.
Wine Tasting This Weekend
Very much a “we will if you will” scenario through January, last week you all lacked application frankly, and Alex was left tasting on his own, so this week I expect a bit more effort please!
Have a great weekend!
