Seasonal Cases
A mini wine cellar in a box which changes several times a year, with something in the box to please everybody. Great for stocking up the wine rack, taking to a party, gifting or just trying something new. Each box of 12 wines is hand selected (and tasted) by our own team and is very much the kind of thing they enjoy drinking. In fact, when it comes time to choose the wines for each case there’s generally a fight here as all our team want to put their favourites in the box.
Customers even tell us that they use our seasonal cases as ‘wine tastings in a box’ especially since we provide tasting notes.
If anything captures your imagination call in at the shop to see us, or give us a ring on 01200 422281 and we can arrange delivery for you.
