Fellow Wine Lovers,<\/p>\n
We read this week David Blaine is planning to wear a chain mail suit for three days with a million volts passing through it. Two questions come to mind\u2026Why? \u2026 and who is quoting odds for the Darwin Awards?<\/p>\n
Winning<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Here at Park Vintners we like to talk about winners, so I\u2019ll start with the Ryder Cup. Well played chaps, and a great quote from Capt. Olazabal \u201cAll men die but not all men live and you made me feel alive again this week\u201d.<\/p>\n We have been telling you all for ages but now it\u2019s official. Wandle is the Best Beer in the World having won \u201cWorld’s Best Bitter up to 5% Pale Beer 2012<\/strong>\u201d <\/em>at the World Beer Awards 2012. Congratulations to Duncan, Mary and the crew at Sambrook\u2019s.<\/p>\n Come and taste it at the weekend!<\/p>\n Wine & Cheese Tasting<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Fancy a spot of Wine & Cheese action? Me too!<\/p>\n Thursday 25th<\/sup> October at 8pm. \u00a315<\/strong> gets you a chair at the table and the aforementioned Cheese & Wine. With four cheeses, six wines and something cheeky to finish, what\u2019s not to like?<\/strong><\/p>\n Rh\u00f4ne Valley<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Alex and I are fans of the region generally, but don\u2019t often get much of a chance to feature it. Given that it\u2019s been a good friend to us over the years we thought it was high time to change that.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve had a chat with our chum Romain who is able to spend a bit of French taxpayers\u2019 money on this sort of thing and have got a competition going.<\/p>\n There are scratch cards in-store and the chance to win a pair of wine glasses, a bottle carrier or if you\u2019re really lucky a trip for 2 to the Rh\u00f4ne. It\u2019s easy, buy a Rh\u00f4ne wine, scratch an entry card, pack your bags.<\/p>\n Tasting this Weekend in Wimbledon Park<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Wandle (\u00a32.59) \u2013 <\/strong>World Champion beer \u2013 see what the fuss is about.<\/p>\n La Fleur Solitaire 2011 (\u00a310.49)<\/strong> \u2013 Grenache Blanc, Viognier and a splash of Marsanne and Roussanne are the grapes here, giving us rich stone fruit flavours. Fabulous with that brace of Partridge you ordered from the butcher.<\/p>\n Cairanne Cuv\u00e9e du Belv\u00e9d\u00e8re 2009 (\u00a311.49) \u2013 <\/strong>Grenache, Syrah and Mourv\u00e8dre are the grapes here, giving us a smooth, rich palate with cheery cherry fruits and it\u2019s just starting to pick a bit of savoury character. Try it with a beef and mushroom stroganoff.<\/p>\n That\u2019s it for us this week.<\/p>\n Happy Birthday Mr Bond, nobody does it better.<\/p>\n Wayne & Alex<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fellow Wine Lovers, We read this week David Blaine is planning to wear a chain mail suit for three days with a million volts passing through it.
