From October onwards the Venison season is upon us and what a season it is! Magnificent and versatile meat, there are so many delicious ways to cook it - but which wine should you drink with it? You simply must do this wonderful meat justice, so here are my three favourite venison dishes with three perfect wine pairings. 

Let's face it, everybody loves a good sale and we're no different - who doesn't love grabbing a bargain?! Wine sales often get a bad press because supermarkets and big online retailers do deals for Chateau Le Spillage and then foist it on you for a bargain price claiming it to be the best thing since crushed grapes! Well here's the thing... it isn't. So we're not doing that... 

All Hallow's Eve is almost upon us; the time when ghosts and ghouls roam the land. We must therefore arm ourselves with appropriate wine to fight off these beasties and the vampyres and zombies. Here's a selection of "Hallowines" which will help protect you in your fight against all things evil.

Organic wine! What does it mean and where do we start? The first thing to remember about Organic wine is that there is a difference between wine made from organically cultivated grapes and wine that is made organically.  It is for this reason that it is sometimes difficult to pick out organic wines from simply looking at the label.

As is often the case with wine, the label is the first thing that hits you. We can't think of any other wines out there with a couple of space cats on the label! So what's the story behind the label? In 1963 the French entered the space race and were the first to send a cat travelling into space. Her name was Félicette. The Félicette wines pay homage to their namesake, memorialising a famous cat held in great esteem in France.
