Looking for something lovely to enjoy this weekend? Look no further than the @boncourage.estate Jacques Bruére Cap Classique Blanc de Blancs or Cuvée Rosé Brut! 🥂

These are two great choices within the sparkling wine market, from an award-winning, family-run estate. The Blanc de Blancs has hints of citrus and in particular lime, with great finesse on the finish. Pair with oysters and seafood for an indulgent experience.

The Cuvée Rosé Brut, on the other hand, is filled with the taste of red berries, and is a very versatile sparkling wine which can be served with seafood, asian dishes, rich cheeses and berry-based desserts.

What we`re drinking this week: Chairman`s Reserve Original Spiced Rum. 🥃

@chairmansreserveuk rums are produced by Saint Lucia Distillers, the sole remaining distillery on the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia. Established in 1972, the distillery’s commitment to blending expertise and innovative aging techniques has solidified its reputation for producing high-quality rums. 

The Original Spiced Rum enjoys expressive aromas of bitter orange, cinnamon, nutmegs and the sweetness of raisins. Coupled with sweet and rich notes of exotic spices, marmalade, apricot jam and crisp citrus hints, this is a wonderfully evocative spiced rum.

The balance of warm spices and citrus zest make it incredibly versatile for sipping neat, enjoying over ice, or as a flavourful base in various cocktails. 🍹

This International Women`s Day, we`d like to throw a spotlight on a wonderful woman working within the wine industry: Katia Alvarez, Director of Oenology at @bodmartincodax. 🍷

Katia has been the Director of Oenology at Bodegas Martín Códax since 2005, and crafts exceptional Albariño wines, which embody the vibrant spirit of Galicia. Her meticulous attention to detail and innovative techniques brings out the unique terroir of Rías Baixas.

Under her leadership, Bodegas Martín Códax has explored innovative techniques, which have changed the perceptions of Albariño wines. Her commitment to authenticity and respect for varietals has been a hallmark of her winemaking philosophy, and in 2017, The Drinks Business recognised Katia as one of Spain`s top ten women winemakers.

Our favourite wine from this range? Martín Códax Albariño. A wine which is both peachy and citrusy, it evokes the seaside in one bottle, and - no surprise - pairs well with seafood.

Pop in store to discover the Martín Códax range and the work of this brilliant woman for yourself.

It`s Pancake Day! 🥞 And that can only mean one thing: dessert wine is your friend tonight 😋 Here`s our pick for a perfect pancake pairing: Moscato D’Asti DOCG - Vignaioli Di S. Stefano.

This Moscato d’Asti is a lightly sparkling, sweet Italian white wine which on the nose has brilliant aromas of honeysuckle, orange blossom, and ripe peaches. Tasting notes include delicious flavours of apricots, white grapes and citrus zest, which is all balanced nicely by a refreshing acidity and delicate effervescence. It`s certainly very easy to drink! 🥂

When it comes to pairing with pancakes, Moscato d’Asti is a wonderful choice, especially when they are topped with fruit, syrup, or cream. The wine’s natural sweetness complements the pancakes’ soft texture, while its acidity cuts through the richness of butter or cream. If you’re having berry-topped pancakes or those with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, the fruit-forward profile of the Moscato enhances those flavours beautifully.

However, be warned that if the pancakes are heavily chocolate-based, the pairing may be a bit too sweet unless balanced with fresh berries or a tangy sauce! Well, at least those berries will count towards your five a day, right? 🍇

Now the only question left to ask is...what topping will you be choosing tonight?! Let us know in the comments below! 👇
