The Grape & The Groove #3

My latest marriage of grape and groove tells the tale of how a Mexican guitar virtuoso was inspired by a boozy New York saxophonist to write a tune that would enthrall a celebrated author and grace a sunset over Spain's North Atlantic coast. The grape is

New Wines at Whitmore & White

We like to keep you all on your toes here at W&W, so we're thrilled to welcome plenty of new wines onto our shelves this month!

Waverley Hills Wine

"It's not often you go on holiday, and come home having bought a pallet of wine. The perils of being a wine importer can be expensive but hey, it's a filthy job, and someone has to apply themselves!" Not your average souvenir agreed, but these sensational
