As wine merchants and wine scribes from around the world decend upon Bordeaux to taste barrel samples of the 2008 vintage for the annual en primeur campaign we asked our wine partners what is it all about, what is going to happen and what does it mean for us poor wine drinkers.

The Rolland Collection Tasting

Wednesday, 18th March 2009

Michel Rolland is an influential and sometimes controversial figure in the world of wine. Having said that, one suspects he does not court controversy but rather is often the victim of the "Tall Poppy Syndrome", being passionate and committed to what he does. The question really is “Does he produce great wines?"

November Mini Bar Offer

The party season is almost upon us, so here is a selection of excellent value wines which you will be delighted to give your guests, in quantity. There is a slight problem of course. If you offer them cheap and nasty wine, at least they won’t drink too much. That may be good for their livers, and even more health-giving if they’re driving. On the other hand, if you provide these bottles, they will come back time and again for more, while making the odd flattering remark, such as, ‘This is awfully good, you must have spent a packet.’ In fact, all of them are provided by the Colchester Wine Company at a considerable discount; as a consequence they all cost less than £100 a case which, with the pound continuing to slide, is pretty good.
