Great for those who look to try something different!
got this as a gift for my dad because i loved the whole story behind the name, and I was looking for something a big different for my dad who loves reds but always ends up drinking the classics. great success at the table - had it my mom's lamb roast and made my dad very happy.
this is now our go-to aperitivo when my friends and I have our monthly catch-up. pleasantly less sweet than the big brands from the supermarket. if we do not feel like doubling up on the alcohol, we mix if with grapefruit soda and it's just a delight. (here is a lovely photo of our pre-dinner drinks!)
Tried this wine at a restaurant in Bath, where the Festivo Malbec perfectly complemented our delicious dinner and helped make the evening truly memorable.
I recently returned from Portugal, where I discovered Per Se for the first time—and it instantly became a favourite! It's the perfect refreshing drink for summer. I was pleasantly surprised to find it available here in the UK at a reasonable price too.
I happened to pop into the parsons green shop last xmas when the producer was offering this wine to taste. I have to say i found it delicious, round and complex, but still fresh! I dared propose to my husband to have it for xmas dinner instead of champagne - and he was swayed too. We had it with salmon canapés first, but we ended up opening another bottle with the dessert too!
We had this amazing Brunello at a friend's wedding. I loved the fact that although being dry, it still retains all its black fruits. I took it around to the in-laws for sunday roast and it was a great success!
We were so glad to find this wine again after our trip to Italy! We were cycling in the north-east and stopped at their wine bar under a beautiful villa. we enjoyed their lovely jammy Ripasso and a gorgeous sunset. We asked the girl at the bar if we could find the wine in the uk (we only had hand baggage!), and she mentioned Friarwood! So glad to have re-discovered the wine and this beautiful shop.
I am always on the lookout for new and exciting Pinot Noir, and I came across this 2023 Reguta, Pinot Nero, a light, vibrant Pinot from Italy. Juicy style, yet with a nice balance of fruit and body, I definitely recommend it with some antipasti, or just drunk on its own as it has a silky-smooth mouthfeel!
I came across this fine independent wine merchant when searching for a 2004 claret for my son's 21st - and they provided! Very efficient pay and collect service. And an interesting, good value selection.
