We have to bottle more wine as a matter of urgency…….

After all this year’s Christmas orders and gift packages left the wine cellar we were left with precisely two cases of wine to sell! This is not a joke, or even an exaggeration, it is the truth.

Of course this can be construed as either excellent planning or simply ‘cutting it a bit too fine’, depending on your point of view. Suffice to say that it is the first time that we have almost ‘sold out’ over the Christmas period, albeit that not a single order was refused.

January is usually a quiet month and gives us time to gather our thoughts and start our planning for 2007 – obviously the next week or so will be occupied by bottling a couple of tanks, and this will be followed by planning our travels for the coming year (this actually starts with our first London tasting at the end of the month).

Oh, and by the way – a very Happy New Year to you all.
