June News
Hot cold, hot cold… anyone would think I am a middle-aged man. Oh but I am, I so am!
Anyway, we hope you enjoyed the sunny weather whilst it lasted and have since managed to keep warm and dry!
Fingers crossed by the time you read this, exams will be in the final stretches or all done with and the glorious promise of summer ahead for them.
With the arrival of June, we’ve received a number of cracking new wines including some rosés and have some terrific offers across the board. Some of theese we’ll also be showcasing on our summer extravaganza on Friday 19th June at Hillers.
For Sauvignon Blanc lovers. we have 3 options, 3 different prices and 3 different countries!

Looking to dust down your BBQ? Well our ‘Wine of the Month’ from the Castano family in Southern Spain is perfect: this is the more premium and heartier Hécula made from 100% Monastrell (Mourvèdre) grapes, certified organic red from high quality, high altitude vineyards.

We had a brilliant Riesling tasting last month and showcased
S A Prum and Oliver Zeter Rieslings (£17.95) wines showed really well and are now all back in stock and start with Saskia’s fun fruit forward classy dry Riesling called Prum Solitair for just £15.95 to her ’Blue’ Vineyard Riesling for £24.95 to her iconic Sonnenuhr (Sundial) single vineyard Riesling for £28.95. This grape variety is just perfect for the summer months and in July the UK runs 31 days of Riesling! So if you want some lip puckering gorgeous white wines to drink, look no further.
With Father’s Day happening this month, of course on the 21st June, a juicy Malbec won’t go a miss and we start from as little as £12.95 a bottle… so do please ask.
We look forward to seeing you all very shortly.
