Taittinger Brut Rserve has a high proportion of Chardonnay in the blend giving it elegance and finesse. It has fine, pale gold bubbles and aromas of biscuit and brioche. Owned by Bollinger and house Champagne in Gordon Ramsay restaurants, this really is great value. Proper grown up Champagne. On the palate, it is well balanced and shows great finesse and complexity.
The Chenin grapes which become Miles Mossop's 'Chapter Two' originate from a single 48-year old vineyard in Paardeberg, Swartland. Bursting with complex aromas of yellow and white peach, citrus blossom, dry straw and toasted almonds. Vasco da Gama Vasco da Gama (c.1460 - 1524) was a Portuguese explorer and the first European to reach India by sea; linking Europe and Asia via the Cape of Good Hope.
It's impossible to think about Italy without thinking about food - Pasta Bolognese, Neopolitan pizza, Mozzarella di Bufala, Roma tomatoes, risotto Milanese, steak alla fiorentina, Sicilian arancini. Like its food, Italy is intensely regional, and the same goes for its wine. It's the identity of Italy's various regions that make a Sicilian and a Tuscan wine so completely different.
The very definition of fun. in a larger bottle! A true Moscato (in that has been made from 100% Muscat grapes) this wine is light in alcohol, fantastically fizzy and shows summer fruits, rose petal and Turkish delight. Available here in a 750ml bottle to share with your mates! A strong, spicy Shiraz from South Australia which is well balanced with complex rich, expressive leathery palate and a hint of smoky American oak.

Found these guys on the Internet, after looking for someone to send a mixed case of wine gift to a gentleman in Cobham. Was tempted to use the likes of Majestic, but decided maybe we should put the small traders above such corperate leviathans. I rang about 5 minutes before 8pm closing and was greeted by a very affable gentleman, who was polite, engaging and friendly. Top marks always. I explained I wanted to spend £xx amount for a mixed case and he was spot on, assured me that he could sort out my needs and also deliver the wine, he even knew the address I wanted to send them too. Spot on, good

Curated wine selection. Can’t go wrong with your selection. The proprietor hand chose all of the wine for quality not profits. Ask the owner for recommendations from ANY price range. He doesn’t scoff at lower budgets. He has visited or met many of the wi wry owners that he sells. This is a proper wine shop the way they should all be. I particularly know Italian wines well and can attest to his top selection. He has introduced his other wines to me. So far he is batting 1000 as I have purchased 10 wines from him and all of them amazing.

We cant recommend the Wine Reserve highly enough! Great knowledge which the staff are very happy to share. We have ordered wine boxes which have been tailor made to suit our taste as well as introducing us to some excellent and previously undiscovered wines. We will definitely be back. Thank you Carol and the team

Would thoroughly recommend the Wine Reserve. We had a shocking experience with local delivery depot in Swindon losing the first order of wine and then not delivering the replacement.
Carol was incredibly generous and timely in her handling of the situation. So encouraging to receive such excellent service from the Wine Reserve when the problem was not of their doing.

What I really like about the Wine Reserve, other than the fantastic selection they have, is the knowledge, the interest and the passion the staff have for wine. Their recommendations have been great, and the service, the charm and the options on offer are all excellent. I’ve even ordered and had them send wine as gifts and for parties, and really the people there are so helpful. So much better than buying from a supermarket! Highly recommended.
