Another lively tasting at The Winery Fulham. Two Spanish wines took 1st and 2nd place, Viña Sastre Ribera del Duero Crianza & Bolet Gran Reserva Cava ahead of Kallfelz & the rest of the field. Thanks to August Bakery for the delicious bakery treats & to Annab Brasserie for a fab Lebanese dinner.

Another delightful tasting in the sunshine in Formosa Garden. Amyot Champagne was the leader at the event but what did they take home? Gerrit Walter’s dry Riesling followed by Moulin de Cantelaube Saint-Emilion 2011 and then Prinz’s Spätburgunder. Who said you can’t drink red wine on a sunny day?

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

What’s in the van? Nelles from the Ahr Valley, home to some of Germany’s silkiest Spätburgunders (aka Pinot Noir). Philip & father Thomas can trace their family history back to 1479. They were among the first in the valley to modernise in the 1990s and make world class Pinot. Smoky, sappy, velvetty.

010

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

What’s in the van? Pfirmann from the southern Pfalz. More of the smoky, autumnal Spätburgunder 2024. Everything they had, in fact. Plus some of the beautifully aromatic, grapey Gelber Muskateller.

020

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

What’s in the van? First in the van are more of the succulent dry Rieslings by Kallfelz from Merl on the Mosel. Oh, and we also picked up some of their delicious Rivaner grape juice.

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

What’s in the van? Left the Mosel Valley on Tuesday morning. Late afternoon and overnight in very sunny Calais. Arrived in London on Wednesday and delivered our bounty to The Winery Maida Vale and The Winery Fulham.

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Happy Sunday, everybody! Delighted to see that the Pünderich ferry was running this morning and that we could catch the ferryman just before his lunch break. Tomorrow we’ll be driving all day, filling the van with Riesling, Spätburgunder and Gelber Muskateller.

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

That was a particularly busy tasting last night! Although it was a very tight field wine-wise, Denis’ Crémant de Bourgogne came out on top closely followed in joint second by Gerrit Walter’s Briedeler dry Riesling and Didier Raimbault’s Sancerre.

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Johannes & Julia Becker-Landgraf took us out for a big night in the middle of Rheinhessen. Slap bang in the middle of Alzey is a wine bar which has expanded into a former book shop just opposite. “You know the owner.” Do we? “Yes, it’s Thomas Heinicke of Schloss Sörgenloch.” Small world,great night!

010

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Since we first brought in Becker-Landgraf’s wines in 2009 their Gau-Odernheimer Spätburgunder has become a classic on our shelves. Antonella and David M visited earlier this month. Fab Spätburgunders, as always. It’s worth mentioning a recent experiment – their startling Grauburgunder Orange wine.

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

Stay hydrated, drink Walter! And our air conditioning is very efficient. 😉❄️❄️🍾

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

A balmy evening and a relaxed tasting in Maida Vale on Tuesday. Château Galau 2017 from Bordeaux came out top, closely followed by Audarya’s Sardinian Rosato. See you in Fulham on 22nd July for our next tasting!

We’re filling the van with Spätburgunder & Riesling.1st pickup today was Michael Fiebrich in the Ahr. Apparently we gave him a card when he was working for Christophe Richter in 2007.He got in touch & we dropped in to see him. His Spätburgunders are pure & elegant.We’ll open one at our next tasting.

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Antonella in Germany. 5 days, 15 tastings. Great trip. More later!

020

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

If you climb up to the Marienburg & go towards Reil you may stumble across the Driesch-Hütte, where you can have fabulous sausages (Rohesser!), cheese, gherkin, a slice of bread & a glass (better still, a bottle) of Riesling with an amazing view of the Mosel, the Marienburg & Pünderich.

020

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

It may technically still be spring but it feels like summer on the terrace at Die Mosel Winebar in Traben-Trarbach! Delicious food and atmosphere as ever. Great recommendation from Manuel Stolte of their last bottle of @max.kilburg 2021 Ohligsberg Pinot Noir. Sensational. Shame it’s all gone!

020

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

Greetings from the Mosel! Hot this week and always beautiful.

Last night’s tasting at The Winery Fulham. Top scorers were Gerrit Walter’s Riesling Sekt Brut and Reiner Flick’s Nonnberg Riesling tied in 1st, followed by Anne-Sophie Dubois’ Fleurie L’Alchimiste. And everyone was enthusiastic about Green & Red’s Tip Top Zinfandel.

One night in Milan part 2. Locanda Perbellini Milano. Love Vitello Tonnato!

020

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

We were in northern Italy last month. Kicked off in Milan at Cantine Isola, a great wine bar in Chinatown. An excellent tip from our friend Monica. What a fantastic selection - and not only Italian wine…

Anne-Sophie Dubois’ Fleurie bottlings are all about purity and fragrance – the embodiment of finesse. Gamay at its most exquisite. Our latest shipment of her delicious seriously organic wines arrived recently from Beaujolais.

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

A good way to finish our trip to Köln & Düsseldorf last month at Henne Weinbar in Köln/Cologne. Punchy, fresh combinations. Cool winelist.

010

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Champagne Amyot. We were down to our last bottle of our highest selling item for the last 30 years! Down on Easter Monday. Pick up on Tuesday. Back in both shops on Wednesday. It’ll be the opener at our 30th Anniversary Tasting in Maida Vale on 27th April. Thanks for getting it ready so quickly!

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

When in Cologne/Köln we very much enjoy Essers Gasthaus, an Austrian restaurant with generous super-fresh food and a marvellous wine list. Iris, who owns the restaurant with her chef husband Andreas, is a wonderful host. Contrary to popular belief, we do sometimes drink (and enjoy) Austrian wine!

020

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

We adore aged Riesling and Pinot Noir! 2002, 2008 and 2010 Rieslings, serene and thrilling. Pinot Noir from 2007, fleshy and deep. More have just arrived from Peter Querbach in Oestrich-Winkel in the Rheingau.

011

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

A striking lunch at KOL. Bold and yet subtle. Friendly and professional. 👏👏

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

Great to have Mosel Riesling legend Clemens Busch at last night’s tasting in Fulham! Slight hiccup - he showed up at our shop in W9. Swiftly rectified. Top scorers were Clemens’ Nonnengarten & Marienburg Kabinett tied 1st followed by Spätburgunder Sekt, vom grauenschiefer & La Fleur Poitou in =3rd.

010

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

Our next tasting Monday 23rd February 17.00-20.00 in our shop at 797 Fulham Rd when we will be joined by legendary winemaker Clemens Busch, the man who almost 50 years ago first showed that it was possible to make dry Riesling in the Mosel Valley. 1 sparkling, 4 Riesling, 2 Bordeaux. bit.ly/4mf72ig

010

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

The opportunity to meet Emmanuel & Laurence Verrier and to taste four of their fabulous Champagnes was a major draw on Thursday night! No-one was letting the interminable rain dampen their resolve. Top scorers were Verrier’s Champagne Tradition, tied with Cirò followed by Pyjama & Verrier’s Fleuron.

010

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

A week ago, we were picking up at Champagne Verrier, topping up supplies for tomorrow’s tasting in Clifton Road from 17.00-20.00h. Emmanuel and Laurence Verrier will be with us tomorrow evening and we will have not just one but four of their fabulous Champagnes in the lineup!

021

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

You are invited to our next tasting on Thursday 12th February 17.00-20.00h at our shop in Clifton Rd W9.

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

What have we here? Our latest arrival from Bordeaux. Woohoo! Another hit of the sumptuous Château Bonnange 2020, Clos de Bonnange 2016 and latest release Malbec, the 2024.

010

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 08/02/2026

Another impressive meal at The Silver Birch in Chiswick 😋. Parsley velouté, salt cod mousse mmmm and not only that…

010

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

We stumbled across André Fays Champagne on a pickup run to France during Covid. On our way from Burgundy this week, we stopped to catch up with Marie Fays, current incumbent at her small family domaine in Celles-sur-Ource. Her Champagnes are super: fresh yet ample. We’re planning our next shipment!

010

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

Burgundy - rain, mist, shine. Went to see our excellent friend Russell Hone (not pictured here), good to bump into and catch up with Paul Wasserman. Drank wine and had a walk in the vineyards above Beaune.

010

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

Why Calais? It’s pretty much because of one restaurant: Le Channel. Outstanding wine list, wonderful fish and seafood, the warmest welcome. We started coming here in 1998 or 1999. Any excuse to stay over in Calais and we are there!

010

thewineryuk @thewineryuk.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

Destination Calais - via Sandgate to drop off dry German Riesling by Gerrit Walter and Prinz, and Californian Chardonnay by Hafner to the marvellous John Dory.
