Beaujolais Nouveau Day is coming… and pre-orders are open now🍷

We love this annual tradition more than most – the first taste of the new vintage, uncorked simultaneously across the world on the third Thursday of November.

This year we are once again delighted to be stocking Beaujolais Nouveau from Domaines Loron🍷, one of the oldest and most respected Beaujolais houses.

Because demand is high and availability is limited, we are taking pre-orders now for collection on the day. Do not miss out.

🍷 £17 per bottle
📍 Pop in, call us on 01304 617 100 or drop us a message to reserve yours.

What happens when you take away the labels and let the wine do all the talking? 🍷

Last week we hosted our very first blind tasting evening, and the room rose to the challenge magnificently!

The guesses were brilliant, the debates were passionate and the laughter was loud. Every pour brought a new reaction and every reaction brought a new conversation. 😂

The biggest surprise of the night was Josanna Grande Cuvée by Weingut Salzl Seewinkelhof – a stunning wine from Burgenland, Austria that nobody predicted and everybody fell for!

Thank you to everyone who came and made it such a wonderful evening. A huge thank you to our very own Natalia Natalia Suta | Wine Writer | Natural Wine Witch for hosting the evening.

We loved every minute and we very much hope to do it again soon.

Happy Pinot Noir Day! 🍷

Join us in celebrating the world’s most temperamental, most fascinating and most rewarding grape with five brilliant bottles.

🇬🇧 Simpsons’ Wine Estate Rabbit Hole, Kent
English Pinot Noir at its finest – damson, wild strawberry, and violet, layered with sweet baking spices and a hint of mocha.

🇳🇿 Tohu Awatere Valley Pinot Noir, Marlborough
Layers of red cherry, plum, and raspberry, balanced by crushed herbs, wild thyme, and smooth French oak spice.

🇮🇹 Bottega Vinai Pinot Nero, Trentino
Aromas of redcurrants, strawberry and cherry with gentle tastiness and spicy undertones.

🇫🇷 Jaffelin Pinot Noir Vin de France
A brilliant introduction to Burgundy’s finest grape. Fresh cherry, wild raspberry, and jammy dark fruits with a touch of herbal freshness.

🇫🇷 Jaffelin Pommard
Pommard is recognised for its full-bodied and tannic Pinot Noir – expect intense notes of blackcurrant, musk, and game meat.
