Fellow Wine Lovers,<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019ll start off by congratulating the English Cricket Team for retaining the Ashes.\u00a0 Well done ladies perhaps you could offer coaching to your male counterparts! <\/span><\/p>\n Elsewhere the Six Nations starts this weekend with England away to France (17.00) and Wales hosting Italy in the early game (14.30) on Saturday, and Ireland hosting Scotland on Sunday with a 15.00 kick off.<\/span><\/p>\n It seems the army have been sent in to sort out the flooding on the Somerset Levels. I\u2019m not sure that I think it\u2019s wise myself, the news brought thoughts of King Cnut to mind!<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, Mo Farah twitted a picture of his training run in sun drenched Iten (Kenya\u2019s running capital!). Alex and I are wrapping up and running locally, none of this warm weather pampering the professionals get!<\/span><\/p>\n Finally, the hot wine news this week is that China has overtaken France as the biggest market for red wine with 1.8 billion bottles sold in 2013. Having mulled over those sales figures we think they\u2019re not to be sniffed at!<\/span><\/p>\n Wine School<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n We sold out the February Course and the next course will start 23rd<\/sup> April 2014<\/b>. Again we\u2019ll skip a week for half term, full details attached.<\/span><\/p>\n Cheese and Wine Tasting <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n We have been nagged, quite frankly, because we haven\u2019t given you all the cheese and wine dates. So we will kick off the Cheese and Wine sessions on Thursday 20th<\/sup> March<\/b> at 8pm sharp here at the shop. All the usual rules apply: limited numbers, cheese by Norbiton, wine by us and comments by you. \u00a320 per person, book your place now on 020 8944 5224 as usual.<\/span><\/p>\n Tasting this Weekend?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Oh yes please! I\u2019ve had enough of the dryathlon, I fancy a fun-filled February, and I\u2019m sick of seeing the Riedel glasses sulking at the back of the cupboard. What are you showing us?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n This week we\u2019ll tantalise your taste buds with a couple of newbies. <\/span><\/p>\n Casa Azul Chardonnay 2013 (\u00a38.49)<\/span><\/b> hails from Chile\u2019s Central Valley, whilst Post Tree Pinotage 2011 (\u00a39.69)<\/b> rocked up from South Africa\u2019s Riebeek Valley.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019ll do for this week, have a great weekend folks!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fellow Wine Lovers, I\u2019ll start off by congratulating the English Cricket Team for retaining the Ashes.\u00a0 Well done ladies perhaps you could offer coaching to your male counterparts!
