Fellow Wine\nLovers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wey hey here we\nare, happy Friday to you all. Nothing in the news much to write about in the\nUK, the Institute for Fiscal Studies has declared that nobodies numbers add up,\nbut is anyone surprised? With two weeks still to go till the election we\u2019re\nexpecting the promise of pet Unicorns for all children and free glitter to feed\nthem with. Not to mention shorter working hours, free bicycles and more\nsunshine. However we digress\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Park Vintners is\ncelebrating a birthday this weekend, we are nine<\/strong> years old now, halfway to being old enough to have a\ndrink! It seems a long while ago that we opened with snow on the ground and a\ncurious public wondering what had happened to turn that empty shop into a wine\nshop. Now we\u2019re not at all sure where\nthe time has gone, it seems to have whizzed past us. We appear to have consumed\nrather a lot of cheese, with last night being our 75th<\/sup> Cheese &\nWine tasting. Between you and I that\u2019s a\nlot of strange dreams we\u2019ve had. Thanks to all of you have joined in the fun,\nmore dates for 2020 to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As luck would\nhave it our birthday once again ties in with the turning on of the Christmas\nlights at Christ the King at 4.15. The Mayor of Merton will be performing the\nceremony and there will also be carol singing. I suspect a taste of Foxdenton Christmas Spiced Gin (\u00a320)<\/strong> might be just the ticket to\nrevitalise those vocal chords. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A few of you\nhave asked if we\u2019ll be doing our Christmas cases this year. The answer is of\ncourse yes and we will bring them out next week. We\u2019re just dotting eyes,\ncrossing the t\u2019s and making sure the wine is in the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whilst I\u2019m on\nthe subject here are our opening hours for the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CHRISTMAS OPENING HOURS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n MONDAY 16th \u2013\nFRIDAY 20th DECEMBER 11AM \u2013 8PM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n SATURDAY 21st\nDECEMBER 10AM \u2013 8PM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n SUNDAY 22nd\nDECEMBER 11AM \u2013 3PM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n MONDAY 23rd\nDECEMBER 11AM \u2013 8PM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n TUESDAY 24th\nDECEMBER 10AM \u2013 5PM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n WEDNESDAY 25th –\nFRIDAY 27th DECEMBER CLOSED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n SATURDAY 28th\nDECEMBER 12PM \u2013 6PM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n SUNDAY 29th\nDECEMBER CLOSED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n MONDAY 30th\nDECEMBER 11AM \u2013 8PM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n TUESDAY 31st DECEMBER\n11AM \u2013 6PM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n WEDNESDAY 1st –\nMONDAY 6th JANUARY CLOSED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n TUESDAY 7th\nJANUARY – BACK TO NORMAL – 11AM \u2013 8PM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is St Andrews\nday on Saturday too, I feel we can\u2019t let it pass without mentioning that our\nannual allocation of Japanese Whisky seems to be leaving the building with a\nbit of a swagger in its step. There are of course some great whiskies from\nScotland too, one I would mention is the Benromach\nSassicaia Wood Finish (\u00a348)<\/strong> a stunning drop that has spent two years lazing\naround in barrels recently vacated by tip top super Tuscan wine Sassicaia (clue\nin the name perhaps).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tasting This Weekend<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ll start off\nthe celebratory season with a soup\u00e7on of L\u00e9t\u00e9-Vautrain\nBrut 204 (\u00a329.99)<\/strong> a small producer we discovered earlier in the year, who\nis making great champagne. A blend of\nMeunier, Pinot noir and Chardonnay it is just perfect for aperitiffing,\npartying and celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The white gloves\nwill be sported by Pulenta Estate Pinot\nGris (\u00a313.99)<\/strong> a cracking example grown at 980m altitude in Agrelo, Mendoza\nit is crisp and dry with an almost Alsace like richness to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sporting the red\nscarf will be Sylvain Dussort\u2019s\nBourgogne Pinot Noir 2016 (\u00a320.99) <\/strong>a deliciously juicy Burgundy that might\nfeature as an early call for the Christmas table, but if not definitely a wow\nwith all the game birds that are in the butchers at the moment. Come in and see\nus, have a taste and we\u2019ll take it from there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fellow Wine Lovers, Wey hey here we are, happy Friday to you all.
