It may be grey outside but we’re gearing up for a busy easter weekend with both shops open all day today and tomorrow. Whilst Easter lamb traditionally might call for Rioja, we are here at Grape Minds. Both stores have the wonderful Pruno 2022 from Finca Villacreces open for you to try. A blend of Tempranillo, Cab Sauv and Merlot this intensely rich and powerful red is complemented by wonderful balsamic and toffee notes from French oak.

Pop in and try this weekend

With huge thanks to Sue , Deirdra , Brice and Chris for joining us. Get ready for a few more photos…!

A misty morning in Lalande de Pomerol as Vignerons fought off the possibility of frosts.

We’ve taken 4 customers out on a three day trip to Bordeaux - photos to follow!
