A UK Wine Blog: wine, drink and food.


In Photos: A Visit To Hush Heath Vineyards
As an adjunct to yesterday's post on Hush Heath Vineyard - a set of photos from the estate. Once the new design of Spittoon is completed this post will be absorbed into the first Hush Heath post. But until that...

Apples and Vines - Hush Heath Vineyard
They chose to make a pink sparkling wine simply "because it makes me smile". With a marketing head on they - that's Richard Balfour-Lynn and his wife - were after a distinct point of difference too. From the heart of...

Food and Wine Matching Videos
Wanna giggle at various MW's looking rather uncomfortable in front of a camera while eating and drinking? It's a nice little video extoling the virtues of ConoSur wines and matching them with food through the four seasons. Nice to see...

Naked Wines Argentinean Rising Star
It's a non-painful affliction, apart from a certain embarrassment, but I am sure I wasn't the only one suffering from Malbec finger last week. The condition results from an over-indulgence in tasting Argentinean wines, not solely Malbec, but Tannat, Cabernet...

Wine Sediments - bits and stuff August 2011
A new Italian retailer has just launched, Design Wine, with the aim of offering British consumers relatively unknown Italian producers. "Currently, over 60% of the wines so loved in Italy, and offered by DesignWine, are not readily available to British...

Parducci Deep Roots
They've won an award you know; one celebrating their status as the "Greenest Winery in the US". Dunno who decided this or who handed over the trophy to the fine people of Parducci Wine Cellars but one would hope the...
