FREE Wine Tasting: This Saturday in store 2-7pm!

South Africa Fairtrade Wine TastingIt’s time for our next tasting & this time we’re heading back to the New World to look at some great wines from South Africa…

Often overlooked by the better-known offerings from Oz & N.Z., wines from this historic wine-producing country arguably produce better value-for-money than the Antipodeans and their wines tend to show a style somewhere between the ‘Old World & the ‘New World’.

We’ll start things off with a new sparkling rosé from our fairtrade producer, Thandi, followed by 2 whites and 2 reds, including a gold medal-winner and a highly rated newcomer from Rustenberg.

Don’t forget to check out all our great Bin-End bargains too …. some cracking offers in store & some not hanging around too long…! The Chapel Hill Chardonnay has already run down!

> Prophets Rock Pinot Gris, Central Otago, N. Zealand. £9.95 (down from £18.95!)
> Yalumba Wild Ferment Chardonnay, Eden Valley, S.Australia. £7.95 (down from £12.95!)
> Ruitersvlei Cabernet/ Merlot, Paarl, S. Africa. £7.95 (down from £10.95!)
> Wooing Tree Pinot Noir, Central Otago, N. Zealand. £19.95 (down from £28.95!)

Remember, in order to spread the wines evenly, they are limited to 2 bottles (of each) max. purchase on the day, but of course will be available (in varying quantity) thereafter.

As usual we’ll kick-off around 2pm and end up at 7pm. It’s a ‘free, walk-in’ tasting and a good chance to sample something ‘new’, or perhaps a bit different from your normal choice.

We very much hope you can join us on Saturday, if not, pop in soon and see our excellent range. (Including the best range of Local Beers + Cider and premium Spirits & Liqueurs!).

Plus, we offer national delivery at competitive rates and don’t forget you can also order online at www.thevillagevine.co.uk/shop.

Best wishes from Nic & the team.

South Africa / Fairtrade Wine Tasting!

South Africa Fairtrade Wine TastingIt’s time for our next tasting of 2012… ! This weekend it will be a South African and Fairtrade Wine theme. Hopefully you’ll be all ready to sample some lovely new wines!

This month, to tie in with Fairtrade Fortnight, we’ll be opening some great value selections from the sunny Cape. A good percentage of the sales revenue from these wines goes directly back to the workers and community. At the more premium end, we’ll be trying 2 medal-winning wines from the esteemed Paul Cluver estate.

Remember, in order to spread the wines evenly, they are limited to 2 bottles (of each) max. purchase on the day. Of course they’ll be available (in varying quantity) thereafter. And don’t forget all wines will be 10% off on the day…

Also, lots more bin-ends and offers to check-out… (some may not hang around…!)

As usual we’ll kick-off around 2pm and end up at 7pm. It’s a free, walk-in tasting and a good chance to sample something ‘new’, or perhaps a bit different from your normal choice.
