Great Saturday spent at Vinopolis working on the Sainsbury’s stand at the Wine Gang event.
We have just launched two new Taste the Difference wines into their range by our Spanish producer…Bodegas Muriel.
A white Rioja and a Crianza 2007 vintage red.
The white is light and very easy to enjoy on it’s own or with light snacks.
Plenty of people liked it, and were happy for a wine from Spain with no oak at all to grace their lips. As for the red Rioja, the Crianza is a star. It’s got just enough oak and fruit to show just how much Muriel has upped it’s game.
Wines already in store and selling well.
Perfect for everyday drinking, but also great with rich dishes. A contender for Christmas fayre. (See photo)
Just gone into Taste the Difference range in Sainsbury's
There was also brand new product from D&D on the table. Saturday was it’s first outing. From our New Zealand producer Vavasour…a sparkling Sauvignon Blanc.
Just so fresh, and zesty. Lots of interest, and certainly a big hit on the day.
Going into store shortly. (See photo)

It was also pleasant to work with some great Sainsbury personnel. Kimberley, Catherine, and Michelle. Julian also came along mid afternoon, and we had a good chat between serving attendees.
The Wine Gang did their wine walks, and the people attending were all quite knowledgable, and also interested in background on the wines, asking pertinent questions, and generally having a grand time.
At the end, I went for a swift beer with friends from some of the other tables, for a “catch-up”. Very welcome!
