Many thanks to my lovely wife, June, for putting on a fabulous offering this Christmas (and new year) for her boys (dog included!). My love for all things stuffing was well a truly catered for despite the usual consequences!

This year we went with roast beef (Marks & Spencer) for Christmas Day itself which made a fantastic alternative to the traditional turkey (which I admit to loving) with more roast potatoes and vegetables than you could shake a chocolate stick at. This was a metaphorical chocolate stick as I had eaten all the chocolate for breakfast.

We enjoyed a couple of hot glasses of Christkindl Gluhwein which went down a treat. I haven’t tried this in a while and had forgotten just how delicate and well produced this compared to the other mulled wines tried in the past.

The first wine tasting of the year will prove one of the most interesting as we show off our new range of bio dynamic & organic French wines from eleven different regions. The highlight will be a extra dry Champagne from ground breaking wine maker Franck Pascal one of the only bio dynamic Champagne producers in the World. With only 4 hectares of vines and a huge following come and try it before prices rocket out of control.

Other wine will include the amazing Cornas form the Rhone valley made by Chateau de Selve one of the most forward thinking Chateau’s in France. If you are looking for the next big thing in wine for 2012 you might just find it tonight.

Said Matt “I have had a lot of stress from one customer recently who has been on the phone every 5 minutes changing an International order over and over. I started to feel victimised but Andy’s new hair cut has lifted my spirits and I feel happy once more”
