So, I've just done the world's toughest Italian wine exam incorporating video presentation, blind tasting, essay questions and a 90 minute multiple choice paper. Held in Verona, seriously knowledgable wine professionals from all over the U.S., Europe, China, Australia and just about everywhere else you can think of put themselves through intense study and a gruelling four day seminar in preparation. But, I'm proud to say I made it through and have joined this exclusive community of Vinitaly Italian Wine Ambassadors. Yes, you guessed it, we'll almost certainly be serving obscure Italian grapes for the next few weeks. Come in and say hello. See you soon - Paul

The shop is open today for any last minute gift needs.
Or just pop in for a lovely little glass of something. 🍷 🎁

Franciacorta... Italy’s answer to Champagne. This one’s 100% Chardonnay tended and harvested by hand, aged on the lees for 24 months (Champagne’s minimum is 15 months).
It’s fruity, a little bready, persistently bubbly and available by the glass this weekend.

Confirmed!!! We've got wines from Cantine de Falco in Wednesday's Italian wine lineup. Pretty sure the Salento Negroamaro will go down an absolute storm.

We’ve been experimenting today... our Saturday special is Krohn White Port & Tonic cocktails. It’s the new Aperol Spritz! Just £5.50

The countdown is on to our Italian wine tasting event on Wednesday evening. We'll show you Italy's answer to Champagne - it's called Franciacorta, made with 100% Chardonnay. Elegant fizz you should be stocking up for summer with...... :)

Another fabulous shot of the evocative landscapes from which our wines originate. Here's Fattoria di Magliano's Tuscan coastal vineyard where they grow the white Vermentino grape. It produces an fragrant and exotic white wine with a ripe and juicy mouthfeel. We can't wait to show it next week at our Italian wine tasting evening. Still some tickets left so do get in touch if you feel like discovering something new.

Here is a great aerial shot of the Visintini estate in the North East of Italy. We will be presenting their fabulous extended skin contact Pinot Grigio and their aromatic Ribolla Gialla (a cool local variety) at our Italian wine tasting event on Wednesday evening. We still have some tickets left it you would like to join us. Get in touch. Send us a message / email etc. Cheers!!!

So, here’s what low intervention Sicilian white wine looks like. This comes from #COS - one of our favourite producers - we’ll be hosting a walk through tasting of Italian wines on March 27th and this fascinatingly delicious wine will be amongst them. #Wine #Chester #Discover #Cheshire #WineTasting #MarchEvents

Chilled afternoons are in order this weekend.
Grab a pal, a glass of something and a sharing board. 2pm til late.

By the glass this weekend... well until we run out... should have ordered more :-/
This Lemoss Frizzante is produced in the old, traditional Prosecco style; Col Fondo. It's 100% Glera (the prosecco grape), a little lighter than the sharp bubbles of many a Charmat Prosecco found everywhere. Natural, indigenous yeasts are left in the bottle through secondary fermentation to the end product where it also undergoes malolactic fermentation. This adds some lovely brioche-style aro...mas & flavours to the usual fruity, citrus, apple .
Softer, refreshing but dry Prosecco for grown-ups.
