Tour de France tasting - Thursday 5th July

You've probably gathered by now that we like our French wines, but we'll be opening up more from France on Thursday evening than ever before. A celebration of French wines, from Champagne, Burgundy, Alsace, Bordeaux, Languedoc and the South, Loire, Loire and more Loire (yes, we are particularly fond of the Loire). Forget frills and fancy finger food this time, just a load of great wines to taste, to buy a glass or takeaway a few bottles at discounted rates. An appetizer for the beginning of the Tour de France if you will!
