Did you know that one of the key requirements of being a Habanos Cigar Specialist is maintaining optimal storage conditions?
Cigars are delicate products that demand precise humidity and temperature controls. Specialists must ensure cigars are kept in properly maintained humidors, protecting them from damage and preserving their flavour and aroma.
Here at Shenfield Wine Co. and the @essexcigarcompany, we have a beautiful, custom-built humidor, which is home to over 100 different types of cigars, with a split of approximately 50/50 between Cuban and New World Cigars. This allows us to keep our cigars at their optimum humidity and temperature so that you can rest assured that any cigar you purchase from us will be enjoyed as it should be.

On International Gin and Tonic day, it would be rude of us not to showcase one of our favourite gins. 👇
Falmouth Dry Gin by @loveday_distilling is a celebration of the distillery`s hometown, Falmouth in Cornwall. It`s also multi-award winning, and is a coastal inspired gin, savoury with a fennel-lead flavour and a citrusy backbone. The crisp, balanced nature of this gin makes it perfect for both G&Ts and cocktails alike.
What we also love about Loveday Distilling is their sustainability ethos, using 100% recyclable bottles and packaging, and plastic free labels, among other aspects. It`s also a brilliant, female-lead distillery!
Want to discover this wonderful gin for yourself today? Pop in store, treat yourself to a bottle and enjoy a very special G&T tonight...
We`re open until 6pm tonight, see you in store soon! 👋

Aging wine at home? Easy. Waiting to open it? That’s definitely the hard part!! 🍷
But if you do have the patience to age your wine at home, here`s what we`d recommend doing: store your bottles horizontally in a cool, dark spot (12–15°C, humidity 50–70%) and let time work its magic.
When you finally do get to pop that cork, it’s not just wine; it’s a story that has been years in the making.
Whether you’re the patient type or prefer instant gratification, our team of experienced Wine Buffs at Shenfield Wine Co. can help you to find your perfect bottle.
Pop in, have a chat, and discover which wines are best for now, and which are worth the wait, or pop over to our blog post to find out more about aging wine:

What we’re drinking this week: Domaine d’Ardhuy “Les Clos du Roi” Corton Grand Cru 2018🍷
We knew we were in for a treat when this one came out of the bottle at our recent Burgundy tasting, hosted by @elliotomara of @abswines…but even we were surprised at how strongly it won the room over.
It’s a more pricey wine than usual, making it perfect for special occasions, and this wine proved on the night that the investment is worth it.
In the glass, it pours a deep cherry-ruby, immediately signalling depth and complexity. On the nose, there’s rich aromas: black cherry, plum, and strawberry layered with eucalyptus, mocha, tobacco and a hint of toast. There’s also a whisper of roasted notes that hint at the wine’s aging potential.
The palate is just as compelling: dense yet elegant, with a vibrant freshness. Velvety tannins support a core of black fruit, lifted by roasted coffee and smoky undertones.
This is a wine that pairs wonderfully with game, roasted meats, or rich sauces, though we wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to savour it slowly, completely on its own.
This was such a popular wine that all of the 2022 vintage, which we were pouring on the night of the tasting, were bought there and then; however, if you’d like to experience this one for yourself, we have just four bottles of the 2018 vintage in stock - it`s a little older and more complex but still very much worthy of those memorable moments! 🍷

What does it mean to become a Habanos Cigar Specialist, and what does that really mean to you, the customer? 👇
Here at Shenfield Wine Co. and the @essexcigarcompany, we`re delighted to have recently become a certified Habanos Cigar Specialist. In order to do so, a retailer or establishment must undergo a rigorous selection and training process set by Habanos S.A., the exclusive distributor of Cuban cigars worldwide. And this isn’t just a marketing label; it’s a distinction granted only to those who meet strict standards in product knowledge, customer service and cigar storage conditions. 🥇
At the heart of the certification is education. Specialists must be deeply knowledgeable about the Habanos portfolio, which includes world-renowned brands such as Cohiba, Montecristo, Partagás, Romeo y Julieta and Hoyo de Monterrey. We therefore understand the nuances of each ‘vitola’ (size), blend, strength and aging potential.
Of course, this is important as it ensures that we can recommend the perfect cigar for any palate or occasion, whether you`re a first-time smoker or a seasoned connoisseur.

What a fantastic night exploring one of the world’s most celebrated wine regions! 🍷 From the charm of a Bourgogne Pinot Noir to the elegance of a Corton Grand Cru, guests were taken on a true Burgundian journey, all beautifully paired with regional hors d’oeuvres and great company.
The key takeaway from the evening? While Burgundy is renowned (and often expensive), there are still hidden gems to be found. Seek out the lesser-known names and you’ll uncover exceptional quality.
A huge thank you to our host @elliottomara from @abswines and, of course, to everyone who joined us for this memorable tasting. Santé! 🥂
