The sun’s shining and we have two gorgeous wines open for tasting in the shop this weekend.

The beautifully refreshing Weingut Hörner Riesling with notes of sherbet and lime. Perfect for picnics and drinks in the garden.

Our new Sacra Monastrell is rich, fruity & full-bodied. It will make an excellent accompaniment to your BBQ.

It was a hot, balmy evening on Thursday 25th June in Stock restaurant. One could almost have been in the Côte d’Azur!

The French classic cuisine from Super Chef Danny Millar couldn’t have been more perfect. A full house enjoyed a culinary masterclass with some great wines to match.

Neal McAlindon from DWS talked through the wines. Danny also added his wit.
