Well, hello there, November! And what a November it is. 🥂
This month, Shenfield Wine Co. turns 20. 🥳
Twenty years of pouring, recommending, tasting (purely for quality control, obviously 😉) and chatting over the counter with the best customers an independent shop could ask for.
So we’re not just marking a day, we’re taking the whole month. The big day itself is Friday 6th November, and we’ll be celebrating in true SWC style with our Annual Christmas Wine Tasting. But between now and the end of the month, keep an eye out for a few of our favourite friends in the trade from the last 20 years, our favourite moments, and of course our favourite wines, with a toast or two along the way.
Whether you’ve been shopping with us since 2006 or popped in for the first time last week, thank you for being part of it. Each and every one of you means a great deal to us and we couldn`t have done it without you.
Here’s to a very special anniversary month! 🍾

Tomorrow is the @brentwoodconnected Shenfield Spooktacular, and we’re looking forward to teaming up with our fellow local businesses for a day of Halloween fun in Shenfield! 🎃👻
It’s always lovely to see our local community coming together, and we’re delighted to be getting involved in the festivities. We’ll be hosting ‘A Taste of Nevermore Popcorn’ outside our shop, so come and meet Wednesday and the gang, and we may also have a little sweet treat or two for little ghouls and ghosties, too. 😉
And while the little ones are busy collecting their Halloween treats, we reckon the grown-ups deserve a treat of their own too. We’re thinking something a little more grape than gruesome, so why not pop into the shop and purchase a bottle to enjoy once the little monsters are tucked up in bed?! 🍷😉
We look forward to seeing plenty of familiar faces (and perhaps a few frightening ones!) tomorrow. Happy Halloween! 🎃

Shenfield Wine Co. cigar of the Week: Juan Lopez Selección No. 2. 🔥
This is a bit of a hidden gem in the world of Cuban cigars, but one that`s earned itself a loyal following amongst Havana aficionados! Founded in the 1870s by Spanish businessman Juan Lopez Diaz, the Juan Lopez brand might not be as widely recognised as some of its Cuban counterparts, but it`s certainly one worth getting to know.
The Selección No. 2 is the star of the range, and for good reason. This handmade Robusto delivers a wonderfully rich, medium to full-bodied smoke, with plenty of warming spice, dark chocolate notes and that unmistakable Cuban earthiness.
What would we pair it with? We`d suggest a well-aged rum, ideally something with notes of vanilla, caramel and oak to complement the cigar`s chocolatey richness and spice. Alternatively, a good aged Cognac would make a rather lovely companion!
More details below:
Origin: Cuba
Vitola: Robusto
Length: 4⅞ inches
Ring Gauge: 50
Strength: medium to full
Smoke Time: approx. 45 minutes
If you`ve yet to discover Juan Lopez, this is a very good place to start. Pop into Shenfield Wine Co. and discover it for yourself!

What a night! We knew that our Nyetimber Tasting would be popular, but until the tickets went on sale, we didn`t quite realise how popular. So much so that we actually had to deliver two back-to-back tastings last Thursday!!
The outright favourite of the evening was the Blanc de Blancs: zesty citrus, orchard apple and a creamy, biscuity edge, with a long, slightly saline finish. It’s delicious on its own as an aperitif, or try it with oysters or smoked salmon.
A very close second was the 1086 by Nyetimber Prestige Cuvée 2014: rich and elegant, with baked apple, poached pear, apricot and buttery pastry, plus nearly nine years on the lees. Pair it with lobster, scallops or a roast chicken.
And judging by how quickly they disappeared, the canapés were a hit too!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for last night’s Nyetimber tasting, and to Mark for taking us through such a special line-up of English sparkling wine. We’re already looking forward to welcoming Mark and @nyetimber back for our Annual Christmas Wine Tasting on Friday 6th November.
Want to find out more about Nyetimber? Pop in store, and our friendly Wine Buffs will happily help!

Last two tickets remaining! 📣 We invite you to discover a taste of Irish Whiskey this November, by joining us for an evening exploring the whiskies of @clonakiltydistillery, hosted by Global Brand Ambassador Paddy Gilley.
Based on Ireland’s rugged Atlantic coast in County Cork, Clonakilty does things a little differently. Barley is grown on the family farm and locally in Cork, fermentation is extended to develop more flavour, and the spirit is triple distilled before being matured in their warehouse overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, where the coastal conditions play their part in the finished whiskey.
Across the evening, Paddy will guide us through six Clonakilty whiskies, giving us the story behind the distillery, its distinctive approach to whiskey-making and, of course, what to look for in the glass.
Each whiskey will be complemented by a carefully paired tasting board, chosen to bring out the flavours along the way.
As the nights draw in and the fires crackle in the grate once again, join us to enjoy Irish Whiskey at its very best this November; secure your space via the booking details below:
