A large proportion of wines tasted to date have been sourced from the Wine Society, an institution I cannot recommend highly enough. I am especially fond of my membership as it was a leaving gift, together with a rather nice deposit in my account, from my last company. Their service, choice, and knowledge is second to none and their mixed-cases are a great route to new wines.
As I have previously mentioned, I am (still) ploughing through their Christmas Ideas Mixed Dozen which arrived at Townend Towers just in time for the festivities to begin and me finishing work. It is only now, however, that I realise that I should have ordered the case in June giving me sufficient time to taste ALL the bottles by September to ensure my Christmas wines are selected in good time. To be fair to the Wine Society the clue is in the name of the case...
Picking Christmas wines in September? Well I suppose it coincides with the switch-on of the Christmas lights.
