There are so many rosés around right now it is difficult to know where to start picking one. I’ve tasted through about 50 over the course of the summer – so far! – and can recommend these three, all at different price points: Floracao Rosé 2019, Lisboa, Portugal (Majestic, £7.99 or £6.99 as part of […]
This week I have not one, but two sensational wines from the same producer to talk to you about. Excuse me, I get a bit deep with it. There is a serious gastronomic discovery to be had if they are both enjoyed together with friends. Especially around a feast of roast pork. Neither are cheap […]
I usually aim to highlight a new-found gem in this newsletter. But, this week, the most joyous wine I’ve tasted has been a constant of the wine rack for six months or so. That’s not so long. It’s still an on-the-pulse, fresh cut… probably. Anyway, it’s just too good not to share and I want […]
It’s picnic season, and if dragging heavy bottles of wine around on your outside jaunts doesn’t appeal, look at some alternative packaging. Wine in cans is now a thing – a very good thing in fact, easy to carry and recyclable, but only if you pick the right cans. I like The Uncommon Bacchus from […]
Swing open an indie wine merchant’s door in July and you’ll gauge if they’re on the pulse or not by whether you’re hit by a sharp, bright waft of apricots, citrus and pineapple. If it smells like they may have knocked over a small can of petrol, that shouldn’t necessarily put you off entering either. […]
We are lucky to have a little garden and it was there that I made the two key discoveries that I’m going to let you in on, in the hope June and July turn out the same. Neither is revolutionary but they brought a lot of joy. The first; our local butcher Holmansbridge Farm started knocking out […]
Olly here and on behalf of Tim, Oz and the team we want to wish you and yours all the best in this difficult time during the Covid-19 crisis. We’ve always believed that wine is about celebrating the good things in life and while we may not be able to share a glass in person […]
Ahead of our Three Amigos Tasting with Wines From Spain on Tuesday 31st March, Oz Clarke brings to life Spain’s array of fantastical white wines. I didn’t know I was so far ahead of my time when I stopped at a restaurant called ‘The Man with the Hat’ at the top of a mountain pass […]
Ahead of our A World of Difference with Wines of Portugal tasting on 27th February at London’s Boiler House, Oz Clarke reminds us of the ‘superstars’ that could only belong to Portugal. I hopped off a ship in Lisbon last summer – I didn’t have much time – just a few hours to remind myself […]
Our first tasting of 2020 explores the thought-provoking array of wines on offer from Portugal. We catch up with TWM’s Tom Surgey to get a sneak preview of what he hopes to discover at our World of Difference with Wines of Portugal tasting on 27th February. I love Portugal for its variety and diversity of […]
