An English Wine Tasting! In the shop! Well I never thought the day would come when I’d actually be excited about English wines but it just goes to prove that every day is a school day. The sparkling and still wines from are uniformly excellent and have changed my opinion so join us, and the genuinely wonderful as we take a deep dive in to these excellent wines. Fizz, white and red and Dan will also bring along some rarities for us to try too.

Thursday 28th May, 6:30pm Tickets £25 bookable through our website, link in Bio.

AWESOME YORKSHIRE GIN ALERT!!

We’ve just taken delivery of some really rather fabulous new gins from in Sheffield. We tasted them a couple of weeks ago and we were massively impressed by them, who doesn’t want a navy strength Old Tom? (VSOT and its 57.5%)

Plus they make the most incredible Morocello, a Yorkshire take on limoncello but with blood oranges, wow!! Bridget is busy putting them on the shelf as I type.

A bit late posting this, but what a night it was when the fabulous Norrel and Sharon from pop by and let us and a very excited bunch taste through their range of frankly awesome wines.

The whole range graces our shelves and each one is superb. The highlight for me had to be the El Puno Viognier. About the classiest and most elegant take on Viognier that I’ve enjoyed for a very long time and not really something I was expecting from a Spanish white.

If you want to try top notch Spanish wines with a little Scottish and Golcar influence (ask and I’ll explain) then these wines are the only ones to try.

Making the pennies go further with an awesome pair of deals. -

Pocket money, remember that? Well, I thought it had gone the way of the Dodo, Ski Yoghurts and Prince Andrew. Kids all seem independently wealthy these days, they have schemes to earn money and become entrepreneurs which allows them to recall how ‘tough’ and ‘real’ life was before they made ...

Bees, Glorious Bees. Oh, and some epic Sauvignon Blanc deals too. -

Bees, lovely bees. Marvellous creatures bees and so integral to the world of wine, well, to the world in general obviously. We have assorted books on our shelves about keeping bees but we’ve never got further than turning a page or three. The weekend just gone Bridge and I spent a few days in the ...

Bin End Update, Plus, Champagne & Provence Deals -

They say that familiarity breeds contempt but I’m not sure that’s true. Take music for example, using the magic of Spotify Bridge and I both have our own playlists that can often be heard in the shop. My selection is a little varied from German funk to bluegrass via Nat King Cole, not everyone.....

2 Tastings & 1 Pile Of Stunningly Brilliant Bin-End Deals -

“A crocodile ate my homework.”, “I can’t do PE next week, I’ll have a broken leg.”, “They were going to bomb us if we didn’t bomb them first.” Excuses all, and all excuses that are pretty lame but then an awful lot of excuses are and at least the middle one is silly, it comes from ...

Hoults Boozy Egg-vent Calendar. -

It’s Easter, that weird time of the year where it feels like it should sort of be as big as Christmas but really it’s just the kids getting a couple of weeks off, chocolate in excessive packaging and an uncertainty as to when shops may actually be open. In an effort to help things we are open as...

Wine Tastings A Plenty. Dates For Your Diary -

Sort your life out. This is not me being shouty and judgy, rather it is the title of Stacey Solomon’s hit BBC house tidying program. The basic concept is they find families who are perfectly happy saying to the nation that they are ridiculously scruffy buggers and that they can’t solve the probl...
