Wines for Christmas day - Part 1
In the build up to Christmas this year we’ll be doing a series of blogs on what wines to have on Christmas Day - pre-prandial, during dinner and post-prandial. So without further ado, let’s get Christmas Day started with a bang, or should that be a POP?!!
Rioja Wine Month
Rioja is Spain’s most famous winemaking region, in the north of the country. It predominantly produces red wines (although more white wines are being produced now). It is named after the River Oja (Rio-Oja) which is a tributary of the River Ebro. It is centred on the regional capital, Logrono and divides into three zones along the Ebro river - Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Baja.
The Wines of Messmer
Messmer, a winery based in Burrweiler, which resides just north of Stuttgart in the south western wine region of Pfalz in Germany, a region that has over 300 years of winemaking history.
Glen Affric Brewery
Right now there are three things that we absolutely love about Glen Affric Brewery. The first is that they boast an eclectic range of beer suited to our modern palate, the second thing is that they’re local to us in Birkenhead and thirdly, the amazing beer. Did we mention that twice??
Everleaf Alcohol Free Gin
"Alcohol free what?" we hear you gasp! Yes you heard us right - GIN! These gins may not contain alcohol, but what they do contain in abundance is a complexity that yields a stylish sophistication. Everleaf have certainly raised the bar high in the world of grown-up non-alcoholic drinks.
Create Your Own Perfect Hamper!
It’s been said that it’s better to give than to receive, but we have some serious reservations about this statement – especially when the gift involves an abundance of top-notch food and drink! But either way it’s certainly a lot of fun putting together your very own Whitmore & White Hamper!
The Lost Tea Company
We're thrilled to welcome The Lost Tea Company to the shelves of Whitmore & White! As you might expect, we've tried quite a bit of tea in our time, but never had anything quite like this come our way. We can't quite put into words how good this stuff is, you're just going to have to try it for yourselves!
Cole’s Christmas Puddings
If you’re going to make your own Christmas pudding this year, hopefully you’ve already bought the copious amount of ingredients that you’re going to need. And with only a few weeks left until the big day you really need to be getting a wriggle on. Or you could always buy one. Pass it off as your own if you like, we don’t judge here!
