Bourgeois Sancerre Tutored Tasting

We are in discussions at the moment with Bourgeois about organising a Bourgeois portfolio tasting at the beginning of June (possibly around the 15^th). For those of you not familiar with the wines Henri Bourgeois is one of the finest winemakers in the Sancerre region who has an amazing portfolio of wines and a long and rich history of wine making. We have worked with bourgeois for over 25 years and have not come across finer wines from this region.

We very much look forward to hosting this event and we’ll keep you informed of details as they progress.

On top of that we are running an Italian tasting and Dinner at Turners restaurant in Harbourne at the end of June (more than likely on the 30^th). Wine maker Giuseppe Mascarello, from the eponymous Barolo house and Lauretta Piangiani from Castello di Bossi will be speaking at the event and of course Richard Turner will be providing some stunning food.

On top of this .. yes there is more.. we are also hosting a Burgundy Wine tasting and dinner with Thierry Matrot on the 21^st June!

Yup, we’re going all Teutonic for the month of April with tastings (both in-store and virtual), a smashing and stupidly discounted “anything but Riesling” mixed case of Germanic joy and a whopping 10% discount off all German wines throughout the month.

10 % discount you say……?
Yup, this is the simple bit – 10% discount on all German wines throughout April – no minimum quantity.

First Drop Comes Again

Some of you may recall from Christmas Tastings before "the event" the charming John Gant proudly showcasing the wines made by his son, Matt, in the Barossa as one half of
