May Wine Tasting Event!
Meet the importer
Friday 9th May - Book via our website

We are thrilled to welcome Georgi to host a special evening of wine tasting, where he’ll share his knowledge, passion, and fascinating insights into some of Europe’s most exciting — and often overlooked — wine regions: Bulgaria, Romania, and Slovenia.

These countries have been producing wine for centuries, yet remain relatively undiscovered here in the UK. This is your chance to explore bold, characterful wines and learn the stories behind them in a relaxed and friendly setting.

You may have already met Georgi at the Somerset Wine Fair or at our Bulgarian wine dinner last year — but if not, here’s a little more about him:
“I was born in Harmanli, a small town near the border with Greece and Turkey, and raised in a winemaking family. My childhood was spent helping my father and grandfather in the vineyards, which inspired my love of wine and nature from a young age.”
“After studying Agricultural Tourism, I travelled to the US and later earned an MSc in Business and Management from the University of Portsmouth. My true passion lies in indigenous grapes and sharing the incredible stories of producers from Central and Eastern Europe.”
Come and discover something new, sip some beautiful wines, and enjoy a night of flavour and conversation.

Wine is a fascinating product, with a long and mysterious history. Where was it discovered? How was it discovered? Was it by accident? And who were the first people to grow grapes for wine production in the world?

These were just some of the questions we explored during our two-part wine tasting course, aptly titled ‘A Brief History of Wine’. It was important to first understand that we don’t actually know where the first ever wine was made, or how it was discovered. It was most likely an accident! However, we can look at the oldest archaeological evidence discovered for wine production, in the foothills of the Caucusus on what is now Georgia around 8000 years ago. The wine was made in a clay jar called a Kvevri which was buried underground for fermentation. This traditional style of wine making is still used in Georgia today....find out more on our website..

This Saturday we are going to be joined by local producer Luke Ford from vineyard to showcase his wines.

Sutton Ridge Vineyard was established in 2011 when four generations of the Ford family came together to plant the vineyard. The vineyard is based overlooking Blagdon Lake in the Yeo Valley near Butcombe and is run by Luke and his wife Hannah.

Luke will be with us on Saturday from 10am - 2pm so do pop in to find out more about his wines and to have a taste!

We are thrilled to introduce James to the Wine Shop team as our new Stock Coordinator and Delivery Driver.

James grew up on a Somerset farm as the middle child of three brothers and has always stayed close to his roots, living locally throughout his life. He began his career as a mechanical engineer before transitioning into the world of e-commerce, where he has spent the last 10 years building deep expertise in sales and systems. Outside of work, James enjoys hands-on home renovations, long dog walks, spending quality time with his family, and of course, a good glass of wine.
