Balnaves The Tally Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

We have long been admirers of the wines from this great Coonawarra estate, well in this years Halliday book Balnaves were awarded with winery of the year. The Tally scored a massive 96 points and will age well for around 20 years to come.

We have a very small allocation of this wine and it is priced at £49.95 each.

Boekenhoutskloof Semillon Noble Late Harvest 2004 £19.99

We were thrilled to be offered a few cases of this little gem from our favourite estate in South Africa, this is Marc Kent’s most limited wine (only 3 barrels made) and to be fair we are not sure if it has been made available in the UK before, its a supper rich, supper lush, thick drop of pure gold and we love it.

We don’t have much (especially after a few bottles find their way in to our cellars) so we dont expect it to hang about.

So call us on 01423 522270 if you would like to get your hands on some.

Portuguese Tasting / Dinner
Tutored by Charles Metcalfe
Hotel du Vin
Friday 30th November
Tickets £49.99


We are pleased to announce a very special tutored tasting/dinner at the Hotel du Vin in Harrogate. We have teamed up with our favourite supplier of all things Portuguese, Raymond Reynolds, with whom Danny Cameron (former owner of this shop) works very closely. His wines will be matched with six courses of taster-size portions that will show the wines off beautifully.

We will then have Charles Metcalfe, the well-known wine journalist and editor of the Wine Magazine, to run through the wines. Charles is a regular on the after- dinner circuit, so will be at home sharing his thoughts and views about the wines. He is a great lover of Portuguese wines and is about to release his new book all about the different varieties produced in Portugal.

Hopefully his book will be available on the night and Charles will be happy to do any book-signing that may be required.

This is the proposed list of wines for the night:

Luis Pato Sparkling

Alvarinho Quinta do Soalheiro 2006

Encruzado Branco Quinta dos Roques 2005

Casa de Saima Reserva 2003

Casa de Mouraz Tinto Organic 2004

Quinta do Coa Reserva 2004

Quinta de Macedos 2002

Monte de Peceguina Tinto 2005

Malhadinha Nova Tinto 2005


Please note this will be a set menu so we must be told in advance of any special dietary requirements.
