Here we are pleased to present his notes on some of his particular favourites. We hope you enjoy! Castillo Catadau Gran Reserva 2013 from Valencia. This wine has a developed aroma of old oak Wild mushrooms and ripe fruit, from extended barrel ageing. The fruit character is ripe and sweet berry and soft easy tannin making it soft.

Did you know there are now more than 30 operational whiskey distilleries in Ireland? It’s a far cry from really very recent history, when the industry was sustained by just four: Cooley, Bushmills, Kilbeggan and Midleton, home of Jameson. Today, with its blend of historic producers and vibrant new players, Irish whiskey looks to be thriving. And the main winners are… us!

The Ultimate Guide To Wine For Your Wedding
Choosing the right wines for your wedding can be one of the more stressful items on the wedding ‘to do’ list; generally the happy couple have a good idea about venue, food, and theme, but, frequently, the organisation comes to a stuttering halt, when the subject of the wine comes up. I say this with the experience of years of practice, with friends calling to ask advice for the planning of their big day. In fact, this has happened to me very recently; my stepson is marrying, a lovely, highly…

Yet still to this day, English wine sales only account for roughly 1% of all domestic wine purchases, and with such a great selection of stunning wine to choose from, we think these numbers should and could be much higher. Let’s start by looking at the…
French Wine Survey Results
We wanted to learn a little bit more about the perception of French Wine in the UK market. To do this, back in 2014 we conducted a consumer survey, which we the repeated earlier this year (2019) to around 2,000 customers. We asked them about their buying habits, thoughts and opinions on French Wine. The results were very interesting and we’ve picked out some of the key highlights here: In summary, it looks like there is definitely a growing appreciation for French Wine – this is demonstrated by…
Craft Beer Revolution
With their quirky names and vibrant packaging, you’d be hard pushed not to notice the explosion in Craft beers on our supermarket shelves and in our pubs. In fact, more than 300 breweries launched in the UK in 2016 alone*. So what exactly is causing this upward trend? Well it’s partly due to the fact that we, as consumers, are always demanding better quality, better flavours and more choice. We are spoiled and we want to keep it that way. Which is why we can’t see this momentum slowing down any…

About Gin
Seeing a massive surge in popularity over recent years, Gin is suddenly much more than just a staple behind the bar. It is a foundation on which some bars are born!

This has meant the rise in craft gins and in turn the varieties we have on offer now are vast. Not forgetting the emergence of new and improved tonic waters and other mixers which have been crafted…
