Last weekend we were pleased to be presenting our wares in the idyllic surroundings of Yarlington House, a delightful Georgian Manor House near Wincanton, all in aid of ParkinsonsUK a charity devoted to finding a cure for this pernicious illness. The sun shone (eventually) and many people turned out for what proved to be an enjoyable day. Models paraded some of the latest fashions and there was plenty to eat and drink, whilst being entertained by a talented string ensemble. Plus there was wine tasting, which proved a draw for many who came to talk wines with us and taste a range of 18 that we were showing from our list.
The selection included wines from across our range with a tilt towards the classics, with France being well represented. Highlights of the day were the 2010 vintage from Bailly at Pouilly in the Loire which was given 10 out of 10 by most who tasted it, the 2010 Premier cru from Mme Naulin in Chablis and our new Pugliese Primitivo, Terre Rosse which garnered near universal praise.
Aside from those, our New Zealand Gewurztraminer from Siefreid Estate in Nelson was approved of and the Corbieres from Ollieux Romanis was widely commented on. Overall the selection went down well and our new House range, Le Moulin, held up well alongside the rather more illustrious company. A full list plus tasting impressions follows here. (more…)
