Fellow Wine Lovers,<\/p>\n
Guess what \u2013 food is bad for you again.\u00a0 Even more disappointing is the fact that it\u2019s not lentils and celery that are the culprits but beloved bacon, sausages and ham.\u00a0 Not quite sure where this leaves the Italians though.<\/p>\n
Venison<\/span><\/p>\n But if we\u2019re not going to eat bacon butties anymore how about we start working through our mountain of muntjac?\u00a0 Apparently we need to halve the deer population if we are to avoid the ugly prospect of Bambi fighting with Fantastic Mr Fox over the contents of your dustbin and the best solution is to eat the blighters.\u00a0 This year a whole new culinary adventure has begun for us all with venison burgers and horse bacon – next up Hot Dogs and Kit Kats?<\/p>\n Beetroot<\/span><\/p>\n Berlusconi gets jail time and probably won\u2019t even spend a night behind bars, our preparation for this summer\u2019s Ashes continues as expected, Man U and their beetroot-hued manager exit Europe, and Wayne informs me that Justin Bieber managed to alienate his entire cashflow earlier this week by turning up to his concert 2 hours late, at which point all of his fans had to go to bed. \u00a0If you want more detailed coverage of the concert, please email Wayne directly…<\/p>\n Last week we celebrated being Welsh and I think that anyone who tasted the Cambria Chardonnay on Saturday will acknowledge that this Welsh named wine from California knocks a lot of Burgundy straight into touch.<\/p>\n Roast Potatoes<\/span><\/p>\n Continuing with weekly celebrations, this Sunday sees the annual \u2018cook Mum lunch and buy her flowers\u2019 event \u2013 Mothering Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n Now, we can\u2019t recommend one wine more than another to celebrate Mum being marvellous but historically something with bubbles in always puts a smile on the old girls boat race.\u00a0 With this in mind we will be opening Mayerling Cremant D\u2019Alsace Rose Brut NV \u00a315.49<\/i><\/b> this weekend.\u00a0 Pale salmon in colour with lovely fresh, bright strawberry and cream soda character on the nose and on the palate we have the same fruit balanced by a beautifully clean and fresh finish.\u00a0 If you feed Mum enough of this she might not notice the burnt roasties and soggy broccoli!<\/p>\n Alongside the fizziness we will be opening some samples we have been sent and asking you to help us make buying decisions \u2013 we have four wines from Rioja, one from Argentina and two from South Africa.\u00a0 To prove that this process works, those of you that savoured the Argentine samples 2 weeks ago will be pleased to see that four of the six wines we tasted are already happily ensconced on our shelves.\u00a0 Perhaps it may not look like it, but we do listen to you and value the feedback.<\/p>\n Wine<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s the start of a new month which means that the March Wine Club cases have been selected and are ready to be delivered.\u00a0 If you\u2019re wondering what we\u2019re talking about imagine a mixed case of 6 bottles costing you just \u00a350 delivered to your front door by our smiling couriers.\u00a0 Each month is a different selection, they come with tasting notes and food recommendations and seem to be extremely popular.\u00a0 There is no tie in, if you would like it you pay for it and we deliver, if you don\u2019t fancy it one month then we ignore the pay and deliver bit and wait until the next month.\u00a0<\/p>\n We also do a six bottle selection for \u00a3100 if you feel like something a little fancier.<\/p>\n Both selections are attached, drop us a line if you\u2019re interested in signing up.<\/p>\n So that\u2019ll be us for this week, we\u2019ve got Champagne Fever in the 1.30 on Tuesday at Cheltenham for obvious reasons – any further tips gladly received!<\/p>\n Careful what you eat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fellow Wine Lovers, Guess what \u2013 food is bad for you again.\u00a0 Even more disappointing is the fact that it\u2019s not lentils and celery that are the culprits but beloved bacon, sausages and ham.\u00a0 Not quite sure where this leaves the Italians though.
