Wine Tastings on Sundays are a regular feature at our Wine Barn. Wine producers are often in attendance to pour their own wines and answer all questions about them.
These are very popular and enjoyable occasions where one can taste real quality wines at very reasonable prices.
Please mark your diaries for four great tastings this Autumn/Winter:-
Sunday 12th October from 11am to 3pm – Our first Autumn tasting showcasing a fine selection of wines for the Autumn season and including lots of new arrivals.
Sunday 9th November from 11am to 3pm – We welcome Clement Mouly from Domaines Auriol who is coming over especially to be here and pouring their excellent Corbieres wines. We’ll be offering the wines for forward ordering at special shipped prices starting from £6.70 per bottle, to be shipped over specially to arrive early December!!
Also on taste will be new arrivals from France, Spain, Portugal and South Africa.
Sunday 30th November from 11am to 3pm – We welcome Jerome Houssin from Domaine des Tilleuls, a superb Muscadet producer that we’ve stocked exclusively for several years. He’ll be pouring his wines including their flagship Muscadet Sevre et Maine sur lie with an older vintage of 2019 – drinking really well now. Also try their delicious Cabernet Franc red, a lighter more fruity style! Also taste their new and excellent Sauvignon Gris!
Sunday 14th December – Looking ahead, join us at our Christmas tasting from 11am to 3pm. A great opportunity to taste a selection of wines with the Christmas festivities in mind. Also a chance to taste Armagnac, Port, Madeira and delicious dessert sweet wines.
On the day and as a special treat we’ll have Valerie Castan from Domaine Castan from the Languedoc, South of France. Valerie will be pouring her family’s excellent single varietal reds including their delicious Viognier Dry White, their Ametla top red and the superb Cartegene Vin de Liqueur (which we nickname French Port!)
We’ll also have a selection of wine gift boxes and wine accessories, perfect as Christmas gifts, available to purchase on the day. A great tasting to attend!
Looking farther afield, to let you know that we’ll be exhibiting at the Oxford Wine Festival on the 26th and 27th September and also at the Cheltenham Wine Festival on Saturday 18th October.
We look forward to seeing at these forthcoming tastings.
