We've been celebrating one of the UK's favourite cuisines this week - curry! National Curry Week ran from 4th to 10th October and although we may have a habit of grabbing a beer to match with curry, there are many wines that make the perfect partner too. With more wine producers from South and South East Asia bringing their own interpretations to the fore too, it's never been a better time to enjoy wine with your curry.

Georgian Gold

For the next few months, we are celebrating the very reason for our founding over 13 years ago in 2008 - Georgian wine. One trip to Georgia sparked a love of less known wine and the setting up of our small shop. Today, we still specialise in Georgian and other wines that are unique, as well as traditional classics and modern trends. If you haven't tried a Georgian wine yet, what are you waiting for! Read on to explore traditional winemaking, native grapes, and unique appellations in the true birthplace of wine.
