🍷🧀 PERFECT PAIRINGS No. 1 — A Little French Indulgence

Some things are simply made for each other…

We’ve brought together two delicious French classics: 2023 Maison Sichel Sauternes and Saint Agur blue cheese.

The w**e is golden, luscious and wonderfully rich, with flavours of honey, apricot and ripe fruit. The cheese is creamy, tangy and gently salty.

Separately, they’re lovely. Together, they’re something rather special.

At only £9.90 it’s a little taste of luxury, and a wonderful way to discover just how magical the right food and w**e pairing can be.

Come and discover your new favourite combination at The Old Windmill.

Perfect Pairings — Small indulgences. Great discoveries. 🍷

🍷 W**E WEDNESDAY – A LITTLE BIT OF BORDEAUX! 🍷

We’re opening some rather lovely Bordeaux and offering them by the glass.

🍷 Château Angludet, Margaux – elegant, fragrant, classic Left Bank Bordeaux.
🍷 Château Bonalgue 2018, Pomerol – rich, velvety and wonderfully generous Right Bank Bordeaux.

We’ll be pricing the w**es by the glass based on our take-home bottle prices, so they’ll be terrific value.

And there’ll be nibbles!

I’ll also be reporting back from Davy’s Autumn Tasting, where I met some exciting w**emakers from Spain, Argentina and Austria, including the award-winning Durigutti brothers.

Who knows what new discoveries might find their way onto our shelves?

Tonight at The Old Windmill from 5:30.

🍷 Good w**e is best discovered together.
