Welcome to our Christmas 2008 selection; as ever, this is an expanded selection and we have put together
some excellent offerings, including some brand new cases this year. We do not include bin ends or off
vintage wines - all our wines have been tried and tested and a huge amount of effort goes into these
offerings. NOTE: for corporate offers, please be aware that we can mail these cases all around the UK, and
most of Europe (extra charges) - we can also include your personalised message on your own letter head/
compliment slips. The cases are also completely flexible - we can quote you on bespoke cases or you can
amend the cases to your preference, if for example you would rather not have the sparkling or Port but
wish to have an extra white or red etc. If you are ordering on-line, then please include any requests for
changes in the comments section. Delivery to mainland UK is £9 per case and £5 per subsequent case.
Occasionally, we do have to substitute a wine but it will always be of at least the same value and similar
in style. Please advise if this is NOT acceptable.

Mixed Case No. 16 'New Wave Spanish Wine Awards Winners Mixed Case'
I have been wanting to do a feature on Spanish wines for sometime now; New Wave Spanish Wine Awards is a fairly new competition although it does have a lot of credibility within the trade. Nearly 900 wines are entered, and all are judged by some of the great and good in the UK wine trade: MW's and journalists etc. Only 124 wines were winners. This case shows the great quality, often at very reasonable prices, that can be found. The bias is on reds as only 21 white/sparkling wines won awards, though the whites we do include are lovely and modern. A fabulous and diverse case.

This is, as usual, our selection of the best white and red wines we, as in Noel (NCY), Daniel (DLY) & Jamie (JJCH), have tried throughout 2008. No small task trying to narrow down to just 2 whites and 2 reds each from thousands we have tasted! It has turned out to be a very eclectic case with wines from some 7 different countries!
