It certainly is tasting season in the UK at the moment.

After a successful encounter with the Southern Hemisphere showing Logan Wines at the Australia Tasting and Tiki Wines at the New Zealand Winegrowers Tasting we are moving northwards.   

Two down and one to go, it's wine award season! Last week was the turn of the Decanter World Wine Awards and this week it was the International Wine Challenge dinner. Our Logistics Manager Paul was lucky enough to go along to the IWC. Here he makes his online debut and reports back on what he thought of the evening, by the end of which he most definately was seeing red....!

NEW LABELS, BORDEAUX BLENDS & OLIVE OIL FOR VALLE DE LA PUERTA!

We're gearing up for the autumn trade tastings in London and we're particularly excited about Wines of Argentina at Lord's Cricket Ground on the 19th September where we'll be presenting the full portfolio from Valle de la Puerta.

You didn't think we'd get away with videoing all our winemakers and not being pushed infront of the camera ourselves did you?! Meet Keith, Kate, Belinda and Charles as they take you through their top wines of the LIWF 2012!

Sticking with our video theme, the last in our series of LIWF visiting winemakers we stay in Argentina and meet Daniel Spigatin, winemaker and owner of family run Domados winery in Mendoza. He shares his top red wine and shows off his award winning Chardonnay!

The third in our set of video installments live from the LIWF. Meet Andrew Noble from Valle de la Puerta the mulit-award winning winery from the Famatina Valley in La Rioja 754 miles North West of Buenos Aires.  Andrew talks about Torrontes and Bonarda and why La Rioja has the perfect growing conditions for both grapes.

In case you missed our visiting winemakers at the LIWF last week we took some time out with each of them to capture their message for you. Here's what Peter Logan had to say about his winery and his wines. He also reveals some great news from UK wine writer Matthew Jukes!

In the last of our LIWF preview blog posts we chat to Daniel Spigatin, owner, MD and winemaker at his family winery in Mendoza and ask him why coming to London this year is such a key part of his calendar.

The third in our four part series on our intrepid wine producers travelling to London for the LIWF next week features Andrew Noble from Valle de la Puerta based in La Rioja, Argentina. We asked him why he decided to take a stand at the fair this year and what makes his wines stand out from the rest.....

The results of the first tranche of UK based wine awards have just been released and we're pleased to report a hat trick has been awarded to three of our wines from the on-trade favourite, The Sommelier Wine Awards......
