Italian Christmas tasting

With Italian expert Michael Palij MW

10/12/10

Free tasting today at our Bishopsgate shop, 12-7pm

Buon Natale! Formaggioso, I know.

As a final Christmas gift to everyone, our last tasting of 2010 is an afternoon of Italian wines hosted by Michael Palij MW. One of the world's leading Italian wine experts (as well as a fellow Canadian stranded in these toastier UK climes over Christmas - I'd wager on at least one flannel lumberjack shirt), Michael will be here over lunchtime and again in the evening to drop knowledge about some of the most interesting wines coming out of Italy today. For a list of the wines on tasting, which range from traditional Nebbiolo to a bacon-scented Sardinian 'treat', click here. /CC

Deliver us from...

Let us take the hassle out of your Christmas shopping. We can deliver to the most far-flung of your UK-based friends and loved ones with a next day service*: £9.99 within the M25, £14.98 to Home Counties, £19.98 beyond.

This is obviously the busiest time for corporate gifts, so for multiple drop corporate orders we appreciate as much notice as possible.

*OK, we might struggle to get to the Highlands and islands next day

And finally...

We are open 12-4pm the next two Saturdays, so if you have any holiday-related wine emergencies (i.e. running out), we're here to help!

With that, we sign off emails for 2010 in order to give you, the customer, our undivided attention. If we don't see you in the shop over the next fortnight, we hereby wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2011!
