We've have been busy.....

Hi folks...sorry its been so long since our last post - expect more to start popping up over the next few days.

So what have we been doing since the last time we blogged, more tastings, more sales and, even better, more stock.

Over the past few weeks we have increased the range that we carry in the shop by a factor of 10.

Pete was beside himself with excitment when the new German and Austrian wines came in - Siegal Reisling 2009, Louis Dry Reisling 2009, Dr Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 2009, Karl H Johner Pinot Blanc/Chardonnay 2007 and the Pinot Noir 2007 from German and Little J Gruner Veltliner 2009 and Zweigelt 2007 from Austria. Expect a full report from Pete soon.

My excitment came in the form of the increase of the whiskies that we now stock. Our plan was to concentrate on the West Coast independants and increase the range when we can. In the past couple of weeks we added Arran-10 year-old, 14 year-old, the Amarone Cask and a small order of Machrie Moor. From Bruichladdich we concentrated on the First Growth range and brought in the Lafite, Margaux and Haut Brion ACE'd casks and from Springbank we were able to increase our range and get in the Hazelburn-8 year-old Sauternes Wood.

We were also able to get some old and new vintages of some of our top wines...

New vintages of Meerlust Red, Rodney Strong Charlotte's Home Sauvignon, Rusden Boundaries Cabernet and also the new La Nina Verdelho from Argentina.

Old friends that we have managed to rescue from the back of our warehouse include a large selection of Rhone wines including PJA Condrieu Les Cassines 2006, PJA Cote Rotie Les Jumelles 1998 and 1999, PJA Chateauneuf Du Pape Les Cedres 2006 and the excellent PJA Hermitage Le Taurobole 2001.

Next time your passing just stop in and we can show you everything else.
