New blog, updated site and new wine club launch - phew!


It’s been a long time since my last blog, as we’ve had so many things going on behind the scenes… finding new wines, getting ready for the launch of our brand new wine club and generally giving the site a bit of a makeover. And just like some fine red wines, we hope to get better as we age, and learn more about the things you want on the site. We go live today and I’m so excited, it’s like the first day in a new job!

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be writing about new wines, award winning wines, new stories and lots about food and wine matches.  My aim is to keep things simple and give you tips and hints, whilst debunking a few old wine myths.

With 3 of my own adorable (sometimes!) and demanding kids, I know how busy life is for everyone, and choosing wine can be complicated, so I hope to be able to give you some simple advice and also tell you what I’m enjoying from our range!

Our New Wine Club Launches Today!

I’ve spent the last few months chatting to people about wine… from Mums at school, to Dads and Coaches at cricket matches, to people on trains, trying to find out what you want from a wine club; and lots of you want wines that you know, recognise and trust, rather than wines you’ve never heard of…And you don’t want a great offer to start with and then get landed with higher prices….So, we’re keeping it simple by selecting 6 bottles, and charging you the same, great value price every time we send a case.  The price won’t change until the chancellor has his say with wine duty again!

That’s why I’m delighted we’ve got some of the world’s best known wines on our website and in our first wine club case! With every order you’ll get my tasting notes and food matching suggestions; I know lots of you don’t want to spend ages choosing a wine, or working out what to serve it with… and for those of you with kids, as we all know, children and wine aisles are not a good mix… so avoid the hassle of roaming the wine aisles and carrying wine to the car with fretful, hungry children in tow, and we’ll deliver it to you!

So here it is… 6 bottles for £29.99 plus delivery every 2 months, lots of prizes and competitions and 6 free bottles as a thank you on your one-year anniversary with us. 

I'll be bringing you news on medal winning wines, and my new selection of wines of the month… kicking off with the crisply fragrant and dry Legaris Verdejo from Northern Spain, a perfect Summer drink (even if the weather outside isn't saying so your taste buds can!), and the plumply succulent Cono Sur Carmenere Reserva, a warming red to stave off early Autumn chills!

As always let me know if you have any suggestions, comments or questions by posting a reply on the blog, messaging us on our facebook wall or following us on twitter
