🍷Meet the Winemaker🍷

Helen's Bay This Friday, 3.30-6.30pm!

If you’ve ever been curious about wines from Bordeaux, this is the perfect chance to dive in. Join us at our Helens Bay shop on Friday 27th, where winemaker Olivier Cazenave will be spending the afternoon with us.

Olivier is known for crafting expressive, character‑driven wines that showcase the best of the region, and he’ll be bringing a selection of his favourites for you to sample. Whether you’re completely new to Bordeaux or already a fan, you’ll have the opportunity to taste through the range, ask questions, and learn more about his approach to winemaking.

It’s a relaxed drop‑in tasting from 3.30-6.30pm — come along, explore at your own pace, and maybe discover a new bottle to love.

Pack Your Palate - We're off to Bordeaux! 🍷🍇

There’s something undeniably captivating about Bordeaux. Maybe it’s the centuries‑old châteaux, maybe it’s the way Cabernet and Merlot seem to dance together, or maybe it’s simply the quiet confidence of a region that knows it has nothing to prove. Whatever the reason, Bordeaux has a way of making every glass feel like a moment.

We’d love for you to experience that feeling with us — not in a formal, white‑glove sort of way, but in the relaxed, “this is too good not to share” spirit that great wine deserves.

What You’ll Enjoy:
A curated tasting of Bordeaux wines, from graceful Left Bank classics to the plush, inviting wines of the Right Bank

A guided exploration of Bordeaux’s most iconic appellations — the kind of stories that bring the region to life without weighing you down

Paired with a Bordelaise twist on our classic Cheese & Charcuterie boards from the Guillemot Deli

Bordeaux has a way of drawing you in. It's wines don’t rush; they unfold — layer by layer, sip by sip — revealing a balance of grace and quiet intensity. There’s structure, yes, but also warmth. Tradition, certainly, but always with a spark of personality.

It’s the kind of region that rewards curiosity, invites conversation, and leaves you with the feeling that you’ve discovered something timeless yet wonderfully alive.
