With just under two weeks until our portfolio tasting, being held st London Paddington Stn Novotel, here is a little snap shot of what’s on offer. If your a wine trade professional you really don’t want to miss out.
First up is the lovely #Champagne from De St Gall. They only make 1er and Grand Cru wines, and with ownership of over 900 ha within the region they are the go to Champagne producer.
Moving to #Wales we have @montgomery_vy and their fabulous range of still and sparkling wines. Their wines are so popular that the demand is out stripping supply. With larger vineyards on the way this is a must have U.K. made product for the very best wine merchants.
Next the Loire Valley where we have a host of wineries for you. Sancerre, Jasnieres, Muscadet, Fieff Vendeens, Coteaux de Giennois & Valencay. Despite the very small crop of 2021 we have secured stocks from all these regions due to our long standing partnerships with our growers.
Now we take you to Provence. Chateau Maime is a small family owned property in the heart of the Var. The wines are very typical for the region and of course it’s all about the Rose. However we have their White and Red too!
Now we turn our attention to Burgundy and the widest selection of wines at our portfolio event. With 40 wines to try once again we are lucky to have very strong partnerships in the region despite the shortage from the 2021 vintage.
Now the other classic region of France & we are Bordeaux bound. Being half Bordelaise myself I will always have a soft spot for the wines. Moreover it’s the home our oldest & fondest agency. That is of course @chateaufilhot. We do of course have a broad range in all styles.
Next up and probably our most well known agency it is of course our Languedoc range. It’s needs little introduction but this year all the wines will either be new creations or new vintages. With 27 wines to try its going to be quite a discovery for some!
No tour of France would be complete without a quick dash to the Rhône Valley. Northern or Southern Rhône we have both!
Final stop in France is our diverse range of wines from the South West. We have added some outstanding wines to this part of our range over the past year and this tasting will be there first outing! Moreover organics come into its own here!
We now head northeast to are friends in Austria and Germany. The lighter style wines from these two countries are proving to be extremely popular with all our customers. From Gruner to St Laurent we have a broad selection on tasting. Take the time to discover the amazing wines.
Now back south to my second favourite part of the world and that’s Spain and Portugal. We have two completely new agencies here and more is in the pipeline. Our old favs from Priorat and Rioja will of course be present but we also have some newbies too! Hola nos vinos!
Time to leave Europe & go further afield now. Over the past 5 years we have developed a strong but small range of wines from North America. All sensible on price but offering exceptional quality. From Canada, New York State and California we have five properties that stand out.
Finally in our epic journey around the world in 200 wines we have South Africa and Australia. All three ranges offer something interesting and a break from the run of the mill wines you would expect.
I really hope you all find the time to come along. 211 wines from 11 countries with 20+ suppliers flying in especially to meet the U.K. market. See you on the 22 March!
That just leaves to say enjoy the sights of Stellenbosch with this little video I took a few years ago.

Here is a little thread about how the world sees the uk. I’m currently in Mexico at a global wine event. The hospitality and welcome that has been shown to all the delegates is incredible. But the one point that everyone I have spoken to is that Brexit has isolated the UK.
At this event there are 45 nationalities in attendance from all over the world 🌎. There are a total of 330 trade professionals in total. So it’s a very solid group to get a global view. I’ve spoken to many people thus far & that been amazing. The wine trade is a global village.
The comments from everyone has been the same regarding the UK, why did the UK leave such an important trading block and this must be hurting your businesses and economy badly.

Whilst the trade I work in is seriously pissed off about the the Alcohol Reform system,which is due to come into effect in February 2025, I & all my piers in industry have thus far been unable to explain to the wider public why it will be such a shit storm. I’m going to try here.
Excise on wine is not the most exciting subject but the inability to import wine and the likely market collapse would be very bad for millions of people and kill off thousands of hospitality businesses. But this is the reality the wine trade is facing.
Back in 2019 one of the Prohibitionist think tanks funded by the hard right wing of the Tory party (based on Tufton St) was looking how they could use Brexit to change the way excise could be charged differently on Alcohol.

A quick thread on something I didn’t think would be an issue due to Brexit, but now is. Jersey/Guernsey as we all know are British overseas territories technically. Whilst they are only 50 miles from the Mainland, but how are supplies going from the UK to them?
Well again technically it’s an export to supply wine or anything else to the Channel Islands from the UK. Odd but that how it’s been for quite some time. Now you would think the UK government would never forget about the UK overseas territories. After all there British!
Sadly not the case with Brexit and the UK export system CDS. Even as I type this thread I can’t quite believe the programmers fucked it up this so badly and the government launched with this problem, but hey Tories couldn’t give a shit as we all know.

I don’t know if anyone else has noticed but all the Brexit types are getting all excited about a bit of news regarding services and the UK being 4th in the world. Whilst that’s lovely it equally demonstrates perfectly how these people just don’t get the bigger picture.
The world and to a smaller degree, Europe, produces everything that in a modern world people want/need. It’s not possible for all countries to make/produce everything that everyone wants. This is fairly basic stuff so far.
So countries trade with each other. An easy example is the UK buying lemons from Spain and Spain buying whiskey from Scotland. Neither country can make that product. So you have trade.

Back in Jan 21 I got a lot of attention due to my tweets going viral. 3 years one I thought I would use the power of hindsight to see if my tweets were right and if #Brexit is the unmitigated catastrophe many in the remain camp said it would be.
For Wine it’s nearly had the full #Brexit exposure being goods that attract huge amounts of revenue for the UK Government. We have the last transition in February ‘25 to look forward to when excise taxes become “unworkable”. But what actually happened so far.
Well I took a look back to June 23rd 2016 at one of our top selling wines. This Chardonnay at the time was retailing for £8.99 with most of our customers. After the ref result to adjust for the drop in the value of the £ the price increased £0.50 shortly after on retail. Image

Three years ago @RishiSunak, a tee-total chancellor at the time, came up with the notion that all alcoholic beverages are the same and are made in the same way. What he actually did is start something that will destroy the uk wine industry. Here is why.
Many people will have never thought about how pretty much every they consume gets to that retail environment, nor should they, it’s not that exciting. However #Brexit was the game changer where continuing shortages have led people to question where products come from.
We all know that placing barriers in the way of free flowing goods isn’t a good idea, the more barriers in the way the more expensive goods become and importers like me go through endless pain to deal with Brexit related paperwork that didn’t previously exist.
