Christmas Claret & Burgundy Preview

Friday 2nd November

Hosted and presented by: Mark Cronshaw, General Manager; George Unwin, Private Sales Manager; Ben Godfrey, Wine Buyer; James Russell-Grant, Shop Manager

Pre-Order for Christmas – at vastly reduced pre-release prices.

Christmas, the special occasion you’ve been waiting for as an excuse to spend just that little extra on a bottle of wine, maybe even treat yourself to one of the more prestigious estates of Burgundy or Chateaux of Bordeaux.

The annual release of our Christmas Bordeaux and Burgundy offer is always greeted with a huge response as people fill their wine racks for a busy period of entertaining.

This preview tasting offers a unique opportunity to taste and evaluate a selection of the wines in our Christmas Bordeaux & Burgundy campaign before their general release.

Many wines will not yet have arrived in our cellars at this stage, so we’ll have shipped samples of each wine in the offer direct from the producers to allow you to try-before-you-buy, at vastly reduced pre-release prices.

Given the number of wines which will be open to taste, in a change to our usual format, the tasting will take place as a walk around event in the shop prior to entering the cellar and sitting down for dinner.
