Fellow Wine Lovers,<\/span><\/p>\n The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed we\u2019ve opened later on a number of occasions lately. We just wanted to reassure you that we haven\u2019t suddenly suffered a catastrophic drop in our work ethic, or caught that Studentitis Slumberous Virus that keeps us in bed till mid-afternoon (Alex has had it before, we hope he\u2019s immune!). <\/span><\/p>\n We have been out tasting, exercising our palates on the hunt for new wines, rubbing shoulders with the great and good of the wine and restaurant world. Wayne even saw Patsy from Ab-Fab on the tube (sadly out of character, pretending to be Joanna Lumley).<\/span><\/p>\n We tasted some good things, some bubbly things and, frankly, a couple of wrong \u2018uns. Some of them will be on the shelves in due course, at which point you too can give them a go.<\/span><\/p>\n All this talk of tasting, coupled with the sight of Wayne sweeping the floor after last nights\u2019 Wine & Cheese event brings me to an announcement.<\/span><\/p>\n Winter Tasting Season<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n When we\u2019ve not had a glass in our hand we\u2019ve had pen, paper, and calendar, and the results of our planning are below.<\/span><\/p>\n We will start each event at 8pm as usual, here in the shop.<\/span><\/p>\n Thursday November 14th<\/sup> \u2013 Bordeaux Tasting – \u00a315 per person<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Our chum Jeremy will be leading this one, he\u2019s well on his way to becoming an MW, is from one of our favourite suppliers, and knows even better than Wayne that Bordeaux is on the coast of France, about half way down.<\/span><\/p>\n Thursday November 28th<\/sup> \u2013 Cheese & Wine \u2013Yule love it! – \u00a315 per person<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n This will be like our usual cheese & wine evenings but we\u2019ll choose a Christmas styled cheeseboard. For those that are interested we\u2019ll also take orders for cheese on the night so that you can pick them up the weekend before Christmas (obviously we\u2019ll do the same with wine!).<\/span><\/p>\n Thursday December 5th<\/sup> \u2013 Festive Fizz – \u00a325 per person<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n We\u2019ll open a selection of fine sparklers and champagnes, we\u2019ll match them with some suitable snacks, we may even do a bit of it blind just for fun. This one sold out in days last year, so don\u2019t be shy!<\/span><\/p>\n As usual we\u2019ll limit the numbers (this place isn\u2019t the tardis!), money on the table books your place and we\u2019ll put our smart shirts on!<\/span><\/p>\n Tasting this weekend<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n If you cannot bear to wait for one of these events and have a more immediate thirst then this weekend to slake it we\u2019ll open a bottle of Domaine F\u00e9lines Jourdan Picpoul de Pinet 2012 (\u00a311.99)<\/i><\/b> a blast of the south and worth splashing out on half a dozen Colchesters, if oysters are your thing. On the other hand we\u2019ll bring some colour to your cheeks from Chile\u2019s Bio-Bio Valley and charge your glasses with Aromo Winemakers Selection Pinot Noir 2011 (\u00a310.99).<\/i><\/b> Should you have treated yourself to a couple of game birds from the butcher or farmers market this is just the ticket.<\/span><\/p>\n Lastly we\u2019ll be closing at 7pm this evening<\/b> as we\u2019ll be conducting a private tasting in Wimbledon Village. <\/span><\/p>\n To borrow from the mighty Two Ronnies<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s goodnight from me and it\u2019s goodnight from him.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n Goodnight.<\/span><\/p>\n Wayne & Alex<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fellow Wine Lovers, The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed we\u2019ve opened later on a number of occasions lately.
