   Drink with Pride

   

   Here in this region wine growing is coming of age, no longer can English wine and in particular East Anglian wines be dismissed. We are bottling vintages which can compete with some of the world’s best loved alternatives.

   Warming wines and hearty suppers

   

   November is a month unmistakably heading for winter, but we can look forward to some fantastic warming meals and accompanying wines. If, in common with most of the population, much of the month is taken up by selecting thoughtful gifts for loved ones in preparation for Christmas, spare some time to enjoy some of the seasonal foods from our beautiful East Anglian countryside washed down with a fine wine.

   Game, set and match

   

   The start of the new school year marks the beginning of the game bird season. Being completely lily-livered, I have never despatched anything larger than an unfortunate fly, but I really look forward to being able to buy fresh, local game at the butchers here in Southwold.

   A fruity little number

   

   There’s nothing more satisfying than setting off for a walk and stumbling across a hedgerow of ripe blackberries. Who can resist the gorgeous colour of those ripe, bursting berries? I defy anyone to walk past without sampling a few of the choicest morsels plucked from the topmost branches. By August and September, we are treated to a number of different berries, a few you can forage, but most from your local greengrocer or farmers’ market unless you are particularly green fingered.

   Wines for barbecues

   

   The barbecue season is well and truly here, and apart from the smell of freshly cut grass, the aroma of roasted meats and charcoal both mark the arrival of the British summer. All that is needed is a selection of sun kissed wines which will complement or challenge the strong flavours of mixed grills and peppery salads and of course, perfect for sipping outside.

   A Chauffeur with bottle(s)

   

   One of my daytime duties is to escort visiting winemakers from foreign parts to meet our Cellar & Kitchen staff in Suffolk, Norfolk – and beyond. My most recent bout of chauffeuring has been to drive around two growers, hot from their Loire Valley vineyards, to visit our shops.

   Whine and Foodie

   

   As a social occasion for participants to top up their cholesterol and alcohol levels, a wine and cheese matching evening would be hard to beat. But as a means to discovering that winning taste combination, it’s about as much use as backing a three-legged nag to win at Newmarket.
