If you’re keeping to tradition this year and serving turkey or chicken for your Christmas dinner, then our go-to wine pairing for white wine has to be the Ladoix Blanc 1er Cru Le Rognet 2022 from Domaine d’Ardhuy. 🎄
This is a beautifully expressive white Burgundy, with a light golden hue and offering aromas of pear, white plum and hints of exotic fruit. Subtle touches of vanilla and toast from oak ageing add depth without overpowering the wine’s natural freshness. Incorporating both finesse and structure, it makes for a sophisticated Christmas dinner choice.
In terms of pairing with turkey or chicken, its lively acidity cuts through the richness of golden, buttery skin, while its supple texture and gentle oak mirror the warmth and comfort of festive flavours. The citrus and mineral backbone refresh the palate between bites, and the subtle vanilla spice echoes classic holiday trimmings like roast vegetables, chestnuts, or cranberry sauce.
Elegant yet generous, this Ladoix Blanc complements white meats beautifully, elevating a traditional Christmas roast into something truly memorable!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Wines for Christmas Tasting last Friday!🍷🎄
What a fantastic evening we had: great company, plenty of festive spirit and some truly memorable bottles opened and enjoyed. Two clear stars of the night emerged:
🥂 Devaux Champagne: an absolute crowd-pleaser and widely agreed to be a standout bargain for the quality. Elegantly balanced, beautifully expressive, and the value had everyone talking!
🍇 Pouilly-Fumé: crisp, refined and packed with character, this Loire favourite was one of the most-requested wines of the evening. A real hit for those looking for something fresh and food-friendly for the Christmas table.
Thank you to @emmalroumana from @liberty_wines for another fantastic evening, and of course thank you again to everyone who came along; your support means the world to an independent shop like ours. If you missed out (or want to relive your favourites!), both wines are now available in store, and our friendly Wine Buffs can also help with other Christmas wine suggestions.
Here’s to a delicious festive season! 🥂✨

Setting the scene for your Christmas feast begins with the starters, and every part of your Christmas meal deserves a special wine to go with it. 🍷
This Chianti Classico Riserva from Banfi is built largely from Sangiovese. On the nose you’ll encounter ripe plum and blackberry jam, layered with hints of liquorice, vanilla and leather from the oak ageing. On the palate there’s excellent structure, soft yet perceptible tannins, lively acidity and a savoury finish that lingers.
What starters does it work with and why?
🥩 A charcuterie board or cured meats grazing table.
🥣 Mushroom soup or a creamy mushroom velouté.
🍅 Tomato-based savoury tarts.
This is also a wine which will work well with a variety of after dinner cheeses, as its ripe fruit and earthy notes complement the flavours perfectly. 🧀

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our American friends and customers! 🍂 If you`re celebrating Thanksgiving today with a traditional turkey dinner, let us help you with the wine: these two Californian @boglevineyard wines are absolutely perfect to pair with turkey dinner. Here`s why:
🍷 Bogle Pinot Noir brings bright red fruit flavours and silky tannins that complement the savoury herbs in your turkey beautifully. It`s light enough not to overwhelm the meat, but flavourful enough to stand up to rich gravy and cranberry sauce.
🦃 Bogle Chardonnay offers a lovely balance of fruit and subtle oak that pairs perfectly with buttery mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables, as well as the turkey itself. Its crisp acidity cuts through the richness of the meal while enhancing all those comforting flavours.
The best part? Both wines won`t break the bank, leaving more room in your budget for that extra pumpkin pie! 🥧
Pop in and grab a bottle or two; we will always remain very thankful for your custom!

With one month to go until Christmas, if you`re thinking about festive wine pairings, we`ve got you covered. First things first, you need to start Christmas morning off right: with a little drop of Bucks Fizz! 🥂
Having said that, although we love a Bucks Fizz on Christmas morning, we’d advise leaving the expensive champagne on the wine rack. Here’s an alternative for you: 2014 Jacques Bruere Brut Reserve champagne blend.
A classic Champagne-style sparkling wine from South Africa, made in the traditional method from a 60/40 blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. When paired with fresh orange juice it’s perfect for making a festive Bucks Fizz, as its bright citrus and peach notes complement the juice while the fine bubbles lift and refresh the palate.
It`s the perfect pairing Christmas morning breakfast, as it works well with the likes of smoked salmon, and can even work surprisingly well with brunches of bacon sandwiches. Light, celebratory and elegant, it’s an ideal sparkling companion to start the day in style. 🎄

Last night`s double-header Port tasting was a wonderful way to spend an evening: back-to-back sessions exploring the legendary houses of @taylorsportwine, @croftport and @fonescaport.
Taylor`s Vintage Port was the clear standout. Across both groups, it consistently impressed with its depth and balance, and it was great to see everyone`s reactions as they discovered it for themselves.
Thanks to everyone who came along and made it such an enjoyable night, and of course to @mentzendorff_co for hosting. Good company, good conversation, and some excellent Ports - exactly what we`d hoped for.
We`ve still got bottles of Port available if you`re looking for something special for Christmas. Pop in and our friendly Wine Buffs will talk you through them!
