November & December 2023

Welcome
A very warm welcome to our final edition for 2023. I don’t
know where the time has gone this year, it’s flown by and
it’s been eventful, much like the preceding few years!
That said, it feels like optimism is creeping back slowly
and there is a sliver of light at the end of the tunnel with
inflation slowing for two consecutive months to August. It
might not be the time for outright celebration but we’re
certainly looking forward to the festivities in our house!
Whilst there is no getting away from falling transaction
numbers, this is not cause for despair. We need to make the
most of every sale and upselling with wine is an excellent
way to drive profitability.
Here are my top tips for the next few months and beyond…
Approach your drinks orders as you do your food orders. A
starter, main and dessert option should always be on offer.
An aperitif is a great way to start a meal and as it’s
Christmas a glass of fizz is perfect. Check out page 19 for a
few options.
With main courses, food matching is your friend. Instead of
ever popular and good value Merlot, offer a premium and
versatile alternative such as Primitivo (page 5), Cotes du
Rhone (page 15) or a juicy and rich Pinotage (page 7).
With dessert, I can never turn down pudding wine and our
Muscat de St Jean de Minervois at £3.99 per half bottle is a
bargain (page 15). You may even have room for a little glass
of port to finish off the evening.
Encourage trading up by offering premium alternatives
of old favourites. For Sauvignon Blanc, offer one from New
Zealand or France and for Pinot Grigio, look to Sicily for
inspiration, Miopasso is my pick. Go to page 9 and consider
a French Merlot such as Berticot as an upgrade from Chile.
Finally, add value, offer festive additions such as mulled
wine, port and sherry as the nights draw in.
That’s all from me except to wish you a wonderful
Christmas and very happy New Year. We’ll be back in
January with some more fantastic offers and a handful of
new and exciting portfolio additions.

World Vegan
Month: November
With 5-7% of the UK population following a
vegetarian diet and 2-3% a vegan one, the wine
world is fast adapting to ensure that all dietary
requirements are catered for. Amongst cries of
‘surely all wine is vegan?’ the simple answer
is no!
Whilst wine is grape juice that has gone through
fermentation, it is production techniques that can
make some wine unsuitable for vegans. Products
derived from animals can be used as fining and
filtering agents which can include isinglass (fish
derived), albumen (egg whites) casein (milk protein)
and gelatine. To eliminate these from production,
they are being replaced with plant and mineral
derived products such as bentonite, kaolin (clay
mineral) pea gelatine and kieselguhr (sedimentary
rock). Rest assured that the resulting wine tastes
no different so you’re still in for enjoyable imbibing.
With over 50% of our wines being vegan, we have a
plethora to choose from with our pick of the bunch
here.

Bonfire Night
5th November
Bonfire night is the true signifier of autumn
rolling into winter. We put down the fresh
elegant white wines, with a keen eye on
something of the red variety.
For red wine fans, this is the perfect time to
upgrade to more full-bodied, luscious wines
that really warm the cockles. On bonfire night
there is an immense excitement when families
gather round enormous bonfires wrapped
in wellies and jackets, armed with sparklers
breathing in the smoke from the crackling fire.
On this type of occasion only one...Pinotage!
Known for its smoky, luscious, savoury
character, with a fruit and toasty driven palate,
Pinotage from South Africa is the choice for
Bonfire Night.

International
Merlot Day
7th November

Merlot is often described as ‘soft and plummy’
which is partly the reason it remains so popular with
consumers. It is the easy-going red alternative to
Pinot Grigio. A safe choice for people and as such,
a top performer on most wine lists. But Merlot is
actually quite a chameleon and can provide varying
styles, suiting a wide range of circumstances.
Like most grape varieties, the climate where the
fruit is grown, along with the techniques used by
the winemaking team, play a large part in the style
that ends up in the bottle. Weather and winemaking
aside, Merlot will reliably give a smooth, fruity glass of
deliciousness.
International Merlot Day on 7th November gives the
perfect excuse to celebrate the classics, encourage
customers to upsell to something a little more
premium, or promote a blend you haven’t tried
before. Here are some ideas to get you started.

When the evenings are drawing in, it's time
to break out the big guns... port and cheese.
Take the opportunity to really delight
your customers with local cheeses and a
phenomenal vintage port for an evening
they won't forget!
We recommend that you offer 75ml servings
alongside your cheeseboard. If you use Taylor's
1983 at RRP £12/glass you'll make £5 cash
margin and 50% GP for a 75ml measure.
Nestled among the lodges and cellars of
Oporto, Taylor’s is one of the oldest of the
founding Port Houses, dating from 1692.
Taylor’s remains an independent company
where family members play leading roles in
all areas of the business. The firm’s long and

What I'm drinking...
The aroma of mulled wine (spiced wine,
wassail, glogg, gluhwein, as it is also
known) shouts ‘Christmas’ whether it
hits your senses whilst scouring the
markets in November and December or
at home on the stove filling the house
with aromatic spices.
Our 10L bag in box mulled wine from
Lyme Bay Winery, is ready to heat and
serve and has just the right amount of
festive spices (cloves, citrus, cinnamon
and nutmeg) to delight all palates.
So, as the cold nights draw in, I can
think of nothing better than cosying up
by the fire, with a glass of mulled wine in
hand, a mince pie and a good book.

Lion Ridge Pinotage Rosé
Château Potensac
Lion Ridge Pinotage Rosé | South Africa | 75cl
Rumour has it, that in a cave in the mountains
of Kasteelberg, lived a Lion who used to look out
over the vineyards and protect them, hence the
name ‘Lion Ridge’. Authentic tint of blue haunts
this delightful pink. Alert aroma of cherries follows
through to a nearly dry palate full of super-fresh
summer fruits."

Chateau Potensac | France | 75cl
The estate has been in the same family since time
immemorial and has always been handed down

inherited the estate from his paternal grandmother,
Georgette Liquard. Expect classic notes of red and
blackcurrants, earth and spice are well-presented
in this deep purple coloured, medium-bodied wine,
which should drink nicely for a decade or more.

Prawn cocktail
Pan roasted salmon
Prosecco Divici Organic Spumante | Italy
My best festive sparkling match; Prosecco Divici Organic
Spumante. 100% Glera Grape from the Veneto region of
Italy. This organic offering has a delicate but complex
bouquet with fruity notes of peach, green apple and
lemon interlaced with floral hints of acacia and rose.
So well suited to partner the fresh prawns in the creamy
sauce.
ve
Festive Fact - the invention of the prawn cocktail is
credited to British television chef Fanny Cradock in the
1960s.
Laurent Miquel Chardonnay Viognier
South of France
My choice for this dish is the beautifully structured
Laurent Miquel, Chardonnay 65%, Viognier 35%.
Languedoc, South of France. It’s a delicious introduction
to the unique flavours of the Viognier. The influence of
the early-picked unoaked Chardonnay element is evident
on the palate – citrus with clean white fruit flavours and
finishes with rich apricot fruit.
ve
Festive Fact – Laurent’s vines grow on the land originally
part of the Abbey de Fontcaude, where Monks started
making wine back in 1202.

Festive food
pairings
If all of the rich festive fare is leaving you a
little sluggish this Christmas, perhaps it’s time
to share a lighter meal with your nearest and
dearest. Lighter of course doesn’t mean any less
delicious!
Starter
The good old, prawn cocktail. If you don’t know what
it is, where have you been? It was the most popular
hors d'œuvre in Great Britain, as well as in the United
States, from the 1960s to the late 1980’s! Not to be
condemned to the history books, if you want to try it
yourself mix shelled, cooked prawns in a Marie Rose
sauce and serve in a glass.
Main Course
The wonderful main course - pan seared salmon with
a punchy lemon, garlic butter. Simple, with minimal
ingredients and maximum taste. You really can’t go
wrong with this accompanied by vegetables of your
choice or the Christmas left overs!
Cornish Yarg cheese
Port | Portugal
A perfect finish with a wonderful full-bodied and firm
glass of our very own Western Hunt Ruby Port. This
stylish, fruity, fortified wine is made in the Duero region
of Portugal from 6 grape varieties. It is aged in Taylor's
cellars for a minimum of 2 years in large oak vats, thus
giving it intensely concentrated blackcurrant and cherry
aromas. It makes a perfect accompaniment with Yarg's
savoury saltiness and creamy flavour.
Cheese
Yarg is a semi-hard cow's milk cheese made near
Truro in Cornwall. Before being left to mature, the
cheese is wrapped in nettle leaves to form an edible
rind. Nettled Yarg is fresh, lemony and creamy
under its beautiful rind, with an irresistible crumble
in the core. A perfect finish to a meal matched
with a wonderful full-bodied glass of our very own
Western Hunt Ruby Port. This fruity fortified wine,
full of intense concentrated blackcurrant and cherry
aromas, makes a perfect accompaniment with Yarg’s
savoury saltiness and rich flavour.
Festive Fact – Bodmin Moor farmer, Alan Gray first
produced the cheese in the 1980s after finding a 17th
century recipe for nettle wrapped cheese in his attic.
Spell Gray backwards and you have the answer as to how
Yarg was named.

We all ring in the New Year in our own way.
If that's with a big party where quality and
price is key then Crémant and Prosecco
are the perfect duo. If you're hosting an
intimate, foodie event then Pol Roger Rosé
and Lobster is the perfect match, followed
by a warming glass of exquisite Taylors

Pol Roger Rosé
France
ve
Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Blanc,
Simmonet-Febvre, France
ve
Pol Roger is one of the true original Champagne
houses and is still family owned today. Rosé is
salmon-pink in colour with orange tints set off by
the mesmerising display of fine bubbles.
At the outset the nose presents a beautifully fresh
expression dominated by cherry, raspberry and
delicate rose petals. As it warms, notes of candied
cherries and sweet berries bring a wonderful
complexity that is continued in the palate.
Simonnet-Febvre have produced sparkling wines
in the Chablis region since their foundation in 1845.
Crémant de Bourgogne is produced using the
traditional method where the bubbles are created
by an in-bottle secondary fermentation. Once in
bottle it is matured for a minimum of 24 months
before it is released.
A harmoniously balanced wine with fine bubbles
and a persistent foam. It is fresh and powerful on
the nose with aromas of citrus.
