Fellow Wine Lovers,<\/p>\n
We found ourselves wearing the philosophers cap and reflecting upon the contrasting nature of life this week.<\/p>\n
The world\u2019s fastest man may not get to compete in the Rio Olympics because his country\u2019s drug testing regime is a little on the relaxed side. \u00a0<\/span>Surely they can toughen it up by 2016?<\/p>\n The England selectors decide to give the young lads a run out to calm their nerves for the future only to discover Watson swinging his bat like a baseball player. Oops.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, we have a football team from a near bankrupt country, about to spend \u00a3100million on one player, whilst a cycling team in the same country are hanging up their bikes for good. This leaves their star cyclists on the dole, 2008 Olympic Road Race Champion Sammy Sanchez being one of them!\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s a funny old business.<\/p>\n The financial industry finds itself embroiled in yet another misspelling scandal so we\u2019re glad that here in the wine trade life is quite simple. A quick chat in the shop, a choice is made followed by a modest financial transaction, leading to a glass or two of deliciousness.<\/p>\n Stuck in a rut?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Have you (or a friend) found you\u2019ve been drinking the same wine for weeks on end, only changing when you can\u2019t stand the sight of that label again. Then stop, and instead…<\/p>\n Join the Park Vintners Wine Club<\/i><\/p>\n Every month we select a box containing six bottles of wine carefully chosen to tickle the life back into your taste buds. There is an option of a \u00a350 case or an \u00a3100 case. We email you the selection at the beginning of the month, you say yes please and we\u2019ll drop them round. You can say no at any point. (or even yes please I\u2019ll take two!) If you\u2019d like to give it a go just drop us a line and we\u2019ll include you in next month\u2019s mailing.<\/p>\n Tasting This Weekend<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Two glasses of deliciousness will start in Langenlois, Austria. This is where Rudolf Rabl and his family make their delicious Gruner Veltliner 2011 (\u00a310.99). <\/b>We think this is a cracking drop of wine and definitely worth popping in to sample.<\/p>\n The second glass is from a real \u2018second glasser\u2019. Albizu 2012 (\u00a37.29)<\/b> is a fresh as a daisy bright fruited Tempranillo. Easy drinking, un-oaked and very more-ish, just what you\u2019d expect from a de-classified Rioja.<\/i><\/p>\n Sorry but we\u2019re closed Bank Holiday Monday <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Lastly, we spoke earlier of the \u00a3100 million pound man but happy birthday today to Lee Majors, the $6 million man. Now that\u2019d be a race, Usain Bolt and Steve Austin!<\/p>\n Nice Weekend All<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fellow Wine Lovers, We found ourselves wearing the philosophers cap and reflecting upon the contrasting nature of life this week.
