Soup's back. 🍂

Autumn has properly arrived and we've fired up the soup pots — starting with our carrot, orange and ginger. Warming, a little bit zingy, and exactly what you need when the Yorkshire air has that proper autumn bite to it.

Come in and grab a bowl. It'll do you the world of good.

Last but not least from this month's W**e Club w**es 🍑

Los Gansos Viognier — Central Valley, Chile. 13.5%.

Viognier is a grape I've got a soft spot for, because when it's done right it smells like an orchard in summer and tastes like nothing else. This one is a good example without breaking the bank — medium gold in the glass, ripe apricot and peach on the nose with a touch of orange peel, and a palate that's fuller and rounder than you might expect.

There's decent acidity keeping it honest, which matters, because Viognier can turn flabby in the wrong hands. This hasn't.

It's a w**e that works brilliantly with food that has a bit of sweetness or spice to it.

I'd drink this with sweet and sour chicken. A mild chicken korma. Or a baked camembert with crusty bread.

That's the full W**e Club line-up for this month — six bottles, all chosen by hand, all worth your time. Pop into the shop to pick up yours.

W**e Club w**e number five — and this is the serious one 🇦🇷

Juan Benegas Malbec — Mendoza, Argentina. 14%.

Now this is a proper Malbec from a proper Argentine family. The Benegas name goes back generations in Mendoza w**e, and you can taste that heritage in the glass.

The fruit comes from high-altitude vineyards in the Uco Valley, and it shows — there's a floral, mineral quality on the nose that you don't get from the flat, jammy Malbecs that flood the market. Underneath that, serious black fruit concentration, six months in French oak giving it polish without heaviness, and a freshness that keeps the whole thing upright rather than sludgy.

It's a big w**e, yes — but it's elegant with it. Scored 91 from Tim Atkin, for what it's worth, and I'd say he's about right.

I'd drink this with a rare rump steak with chimichurri. Slow-cooked beef cheek. Or a strong, blue-veined cheese.

This one's worth making an occasion of. Come grab a bottle before they're gone.

Just a quick heads-up, folks! 📢

This Saturday (26th September) we'll be closing the shop and w**e bar between 2pm and 7pm for a private party.

We're open as normal before 2pm, so do pop in earlier if you need to stock up for the weekend. And we'll be back open from 7pm onwards if you fancy an evening glass instead!

Sorry for any inconvenience, and thanks as always for your support. See you soon! 🍷

W**e Club w**e number four 🍷

Señora Rosa Cabernet Sauvignon — Central Valley, Chile. 12.5%.

This is Cabernet Sauvignon that knows what it is and doesn't try to be anything flasher. Ripe black fruit, proper cassis on the nose, soft tannins and a finish that lingers just long enough to make you reach for another sip.

It's a reliable, honest red that over-delivers for the price — and I've got time for that.

I'd drink this with a ribeye steak with salt and pepper. A hearty shepherd's pie. Or a wedge of mature Cheddar with a biscuit.

Pop in and grab a bottle.

W**e Club w**e number three — and this one's for the Pinot Grigio sceptics 🍋

Pecorino Tor del Colle — Terre di Chieti, Abruzzo, Italy. 13%.

Pecorino is one of those Italian grapes that deserves to be far better known than it is. This Tor del Colle is a proper little crowd-pleaser — lemon-pale in the glass, blossom and grapefruit on the nose, then a dry, zesty palate with white peach and a crisp mineral finish that makes your mouth water in a good way.

There's a brightness to it that reminds me of a good Verdicchio. Refreshening without being thin, characterful without being fussy.

If you're bored of Pinot Grigio and want something with a bit more going on, this is your w**e.

I'd drink it with grilled sardines with lemon and salt. Prosciutto and melon from the deli. Or any piece of white fish you've got plans for.

W**e Club w**e number two 🥂

Veldt Range Chenin Blanc — Western Cape, South Africa. 12.5%.

South African Chenin Blanc is one of the great unsung workhorses of the w**e world, and this one does the grape proud without putting on airs. Ripe melon and pear on the nose, a hint of honey, and a clean mineral edge on the finish that keeps it honest.

It's the sort of white that drinks well on its own but comes alive with food — fresh enough to be interesting, generous enough to be easy company.

I've poured this for people who swore they only drank Sauvignon Blanc, and it quietly changed their minds.

I'd pair it with a goat's cheese from the deli counter. Thai green curry. Or smoked mackerel on toast.

Come try it at the shop — bring your curiosity.

First up from this month's W**e Club w**es 🍷

Tierra Alta Merlot — Central Valley, Chile. Unoaked, 13.5%.

This is the sort of Merlot I'd happily open on a Tuesday night with no fanfare and no occasion. Deeply coloured, properly juicy, with cool-climate plum and blackcurrant that tastes like actual fruit rather than a w**e trade description of fruit. No oak getting in the way — just honest, ripe, drinkable Merlot that doesn't ask you to think too hard about it.

For what it costs, it's the kind of bottle that makes you wonder why anyone spends four times as much on something less enjoyable.

I'd drink this with bangers and mash with plenty of onion gravy. A midweek lasagne. Or just a decent plate of cheese and crackers when you can't be bothered to cook.

Pop into the shop to try it — we've got plenty in stock.

Not every gift needs a big production. Sometimes it's the small one that lands properly.

The Pocket Hamper is one bottle I've picked myself (not a dusty afterthought), a little artisan cheese, something sweet, and a tasting card explaining why I chose that bottle and what I'd serve it with. From around £25.

It's the gift that says "I thought about this" without shouting about it. Ideal for a thank you, a birthday, or a host who already has everything. Built to order like all of them, and I'll do the card in my own handwriting if you'll trust my penmanship.

Midweek reality: you're tired, the takeaway's ordered, and you want a glass that doesn't make you think too hard.

So here's my pick for a Monday night: a red with enough fruit to not be dull, enough structure to stand up to pizza and burgers, and enough character that you won't feel short-changed. Around the £15 mark, because decent w**e shouldn't need a lecture or a second mortgage.

Pop in and tell me what you're eating tonight. I'll point you at the right bottle and you can be home before the garlic bread goes cold.
