Feeling Doorly’s? We certainly are! Proper rum, aged to perfection, each bringing something supercool to the glass —Bajan style. There’s always sunshine when you’ve got rum in your glass. We’ve got plenty to choose from at Vineyards, you’ll need your shades 😎

‘Meet the Winemaker’ We had the pleasure of meeting Charlie O’Brien yesterday. Niki and I sampled the whole range and were given the complete story behind each wine. You will see more directly from Charlie soon as we are making him get up super early (due to time difference with Australia) to join us on an Instagram live with a couple of his wines. . Which ones will we choose though? #grenache #shiraz #chardonnay #fiano #montepulciano #Australia #wine #winetasting #winelover #sherborne #dorset #awardwinning #instagram #insta #wineoftheday #wineofinstagram #wineofaustralia

Just for fun we thought it might be nice to introduce you to some of our suppliers and winemakers over the next few weeks 🍷 . Starting with the lovely Chris from Buckingham Schenk, some of you may have seen him at some of our tastings in the past 🍷 we love working with him, he always arrives at the shop with a bottle or 2 in his hands and after sampling, we always have to make more space on our shelves for more of his wines. Chris supplies us with some beautiful wines and some awesome fizz. . Keep your eyes peeled for our next mailing list email as we have booked Chris to come and host a fizz tasting with us in June 🍾 . #sherborneindies #vintner #sherborneswineshop #winemerchant #awardwinning #shoplocal #wine #wineshop #winelover #indie #sherborne #dorset #weddingwine #italy #fizz #champagne #prosecco #winetasting #harpers #harperstop50

This wine seriously gets us feeling foxy 🦊 Meet our Coda di Volpe, a fairly obscure ancient white grape with a name that means ‘fox tail’ due to the distinctive shape the grapes grow into. Found in the foothills of Mount Vesuvius, this delicious beaut thrives in volcanic soil where it becomes a low acidity, medium bodied, fruity white wine with notes of quince, pear, white fleshy fruits, and a touch of chamomile. It spent years only in blends and it now is in the limelight, being produced by winemakers in Campania who’ve nurtured it into a delicious wine. This bottle is a discovery — and only £12!

3 SPACES HAVE JUST BECOME AVAILABLE FOR THIS THURSDAY 🍷 FOMO Wine Tasting £15 pp Thursday 28th April 2022 6:30pm – 8:00pm Usually when we put together a tasting it’s wrapped up in a theme – whether that be a grape variety, a region, a style, a winemaking process… you get the idea. There’s no theme to this tasting other than the wines are simply fantastic. Every wine on this tasting is new to our shelves, having been newly sourced from Fran, who has wine in her blood and was born with a wine glass in her hand– oh, so there is a theme. New wines from a new importer and boy, we’ve got some beauties. To give you a little more enlightenment, we’ll be tasting 7 wines from across the globe including South Africa, Portugal, Italy, and Bulgaria. It’s definitely one not to be missed otherwise you’ll get FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out!!) As always, no prior knowledge is expected, simply come along, drink great wine, and leave knowing something new – having had a fun evening!

The iconic Seasalter is currently ON OFFER at just £13 p/btl!!! Was £18 When Nick Pentz @grootepost paid us a visit from SA 🇿🇦 last week, we put him up to the challenge of describing his limited release Seasalter 🌊 wine in under 10 secs. Anyone who knows us will know how how much we love this Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon from the Darling Hills. It’s like a dramatic coastline in a glass! It was so nice to see Nick again post lockdown. The relationships we have with our winemakers is what makes buying from an indie like us special. #grapetoglass

BE A WINE JUDGE 👩🏼‍⚖️ 🍷 VINE OF THE TIMES 2022 👇🏻 Like many industries, being a wino can be tough when sipping your way through the archaic stigmas attached to a lifelong, privileged white male dominated arena. Yes, we’ve come a long way, but there’s still a distance to go. Proud as we are, we were the only gals featured in this year’s top 10 indie wine merchants at Harpers Wine. So, we’re introducing our very own and very shiny indie wine tasting: VINE OF THE TIMES. An annual blind tasting where we get a group of industry winos together and raise a glass to inclusivity by hosting a blind tasting comp, where we unearth little drinking gems from underrepresented makers. This year belongs to women in wine. We’re gathering wine from female winemakers across the globe, and hosting female winos to blind taste them in a celebratory wine tasting comp. It’s all about the Sip-sterhood! BE A JUDGE If you’re a female wino currently working in the wine trade in some capacity, we want to hear from you. If you simply want to raise a glass to inclusivity and help remove the wine world’s rosé coloured glasses, we want you to share this post and spread the word. It’s going to be a grand ol’ tasting and, as ever, we’ll be dragging you along for the journey. Happy Tuesday, Your favourite vintner of discontent!
