2013 was full of success stories in California. There are plenty of impressive wines to be found and none more so than those made by Matthias Pippig and his team. We were so pleased that Matthias and Jamie found time to visit last year. Meeting them helped us gain further perspective on their wines....

WHICH WEDDING WINES?

The team at Richard Dawes Fine Wine, a young, yet extremely knowledgeable London based wine merchant, have compiled a list of wines that will be sure to impress ‘that guy’  (we all have one at our wedding ) and ensure that your special day is filled with merriment. 

For the first time in a few years, the three of us made the trip down to Bordeaux for Primeurs week. This is the week when merchants from all over the world come to visit the Chateaux to try barrel samples from the previous harvest prior to their release throughout late Spring and early Summer. The...

It is a great pleasure to be sharing the amazing wines from Sanguis with you. Winemaker Matthias Pippig’s first release from Sanguis was in 2005 having worked at various other estates including Sine Qua Non. Although there are several parallels to be drawn between Sanguis and SQN, both in winemaker...

The UGC tasting brings representatives from a host of classed growth chateaux to London to show the m...

The 2014 Vintage
It is pleasing to say that the 2014 vintage is shaping up very well! It is certainly the finest since the blockbuster 2010, and was subject to a healthy growing season especially aided by transforming weather in late September, early October, and good yields at harvest. Reports from...

We were honoured to be joined by Eric Baugher, Vice President and wine maker at Ridge Vineyards, for the first of what we hope will many Winemaker Dinners last week. The Library Room at Vauxhall’s Brunswick House provided an intimate and dramatic setting for a most enjoyable evening. Jackson Boxer s...

I had been itching to get back to the Harwood Arms in Fulham following a very enjoyable visit before Christmas. So, I rounded up a few colleagues from the wine trade for lunch last week. If you haven’t been, the Harwood serves some of the most refined food available but is still very much a pub. As...
