Mistral

Mistral Mistral is a new wine bar and shop tucked away in historic Chester.

Conceived by international wine writer & critic Paul Caputo and bespoke tailor Patrick Barker, Mistral houses a collection of authentic wines by small growers and boutique producers.

So, after 12 months with Mistral Wine Bar in Chester, it's with a heavy heart that we've decided to evolve it into something else. The last year has been a wonderful insight into the world of hospitality and in particular the highs and lows of running a city centre venue. Our short pop up license expired and Mistral has decided not to renew it. We are extremely proud of our little wine offering though and have had incredible amounts of fun showcasing our rare wines to some very passionate customers. It's also a great feeling to know that everyone who visited Mistral had the best experience we could possibly give. All of our Facebook, Google and TripAdvisor reviews stand tall at 5 stars. As such we’d like to thank everyone who came out to support us; you made it what it was. With the prospect of a more commercial lease, and the outlook for Chester and wine retail in general however, we've have decided it's not an area in which we wish to continue our creative energies. Patrick is looking forward to converting the premises into an extension of his Crichton Bespoke tailoring brand, while Paul will continue to expand his rapidly developing search engine and wine media platform. Thank you once again to everyone who shared a glass or two with us.

Maybe we should start using some of these in   - links to odd corkscrews for sale welcome 😉

The 2018 campaign is underway and its barrage of daily offers has inspired us to crack open a few back vintages. This has to be one of the best right bank bargains around at the moment - with five years of age to it this fleshy but gentle fruit driven blend of Merlot (70%) and Cabernet Sauvignon is the perfect lunch time claret. The Galineau family has been making wine at Château La Gramondie for three generations since 1858. Today they boast 35 hectares of cool clay soils in which Merlot thrives.

So, I've just done the world's toughest Italian wine exam incorporating video presentation, blind tasting, essay questions and a 90 minute multiple choice paper. Held in Verona, seriously knowledgable wine professionals from all over the U.S., Europe, China, Australia and just about everywhere else you can think of put themselves through intense study and a gruelling four day seminar in preparation. But, I'm proud to say I made it through and have joined this exclusive community of Vinitaly Italian Wine Ambassadors. Yes, you guessed it, we'll almost certainly be serving obscure Italian grapes for the next few weeks. Come in and say hello. See you soon - Paul

Franciacorta... Italy’s answer to Champagne. This one’s 100% Chardonnay tended and harvested by hand, aged on the lees for 24 months (Champagne’s minimum is 15 months).

It’s fruity, a little bready, persistently bubbly and available by the glass this weekend.
