Magic in Midhurst
May 16th, 2007 by Helen
We dash off to see one of our best customers in the South East. I love visiting Neville Sparks at his magical wine shop,‘Wine Etcetera’ in Midhurst, Sussex.
It is an amazing, complete wine experience, he is incredibly knowledgeable about every bottle he sells and gives each customer his undivided attention.
Interesting wine quotations adorn the walls and the ‘etceteras’ are lovely decanters, elegant glasses, corkscrews and in fact everything surrounding the joyful activity of drinking wine.
Neville writes regularly on wine for Sussex Life magazine, we were delighted that he chose to select our Regnie as recommended to drink with the Christmas season feasts last year. Our wine is arranged temptingly in an attractive assemblage by the bar like desk, his thoughtful, informative description of the fruits and flavours to be experienced, also suggests that our Regnie ‘tastes as a Beaujolais should tase’.
We have made contact with and sales to many other independent wine merchants thanks to Neville, such as Cooden Cellars in Eastbourne, behind the Grand Hotel, who have our wine at the moment at a very attractive introductory offer, and Adrian Walsh, Food and Fine Wine, in Sheffield.
