Bourgeois Sancerre Tutored Tasting

We are in discussions at the moment with Bourgeois about organising a Bourgeois portfolio tasting at the beginning of June (possibly around the 15^th). For those of you not familiar with the wines Henri Bourgeois is one of the finest winemakers in the Sancerre region who has an amazing portfolio of wines and a long and rich history of wine making. We have worked with bourgeois for over 25 years and have not come across finer wines from this region.

We very much look forward to hosting this event and we’ll keep you informed of details as they progress.

On top of that we are running an Italian tasting and Dinner at Turners restaurant in Harbourne at the end of June (more than likely on the 30^th). Wine maker Giuseppe Mascarello, from the eponymous Barolo house and Lauretta Piangiani from Castello di Bossi will be speaking at the event and of course Richard Turner will be providing some stunning food.

On top of this .. yes there is more.. we are also hosting a Burgundy Wine tasting and dinner with Thierry Matrot on the 21^st June!

Recent visitors to the Arch 13/Connolly’s emporium may have chanced upon a frankly ridiculous poster which could lead you to question the sanity of certain members of the team.

The Half Bottle – it’s a thing of beauty

March 14, 2023

Years ago, before very clever folk started coming up with all manner of means to keep open bottles of wine (reasonably) fresh, half bottles of wine were a thing. Growers would routinely bottle a modest proportion of their harvest into half bottles and restaurants in particular, would carry them, largely for the benefit of solo diners
