London, Cadaqués & Catalan wines…

The good taste of Cadaqués is picking up in London and more places are offering « Pirata » or « S’Alqueria » two of my wines…. « Sirenes de C…. » arriving next year !!

– Lutyens – in the city – received the wines two weeks ago…. Thank you to Andrew Connor the N-Z Sommelier !!

– In Covent Garden: « The 10 Cases »… This new wine bar in Covent Garden has a policy of 10 whites and 10 reds on their list. Pirata was one of their best wine/feed back so far….. The suckling pig is apparently excelent !  Looks rather nice end very decent prices…Pirata by the glass at 6.4£…

Regularly, I have the chance to have new customers interested with my wine….which is quite different !

Three shops in Bordeaux  » La Meca del Vino » for a lot of people, in Barcelona…  and now a new shop in London.

UK…. Thanks i moltes Gracies !

10 years…

I haven’t been to the UK for the last 10 years to sell wine. In fact last time, was when I was promoting a very nice wine made with Paul Boutinot: « Gemini » ! A long time ago… but I enjoyed that great tour with Dick and this « come back » in England !

Some of our contact confirmed their orders !  « Moltes Gracies » to YOU, for your support in my work, made in a fabulous, rising area of Catalunya : Empordà,  Cadaqués !!
