Message from Norman and Jill who have successfully run the wine cellar for the last 6 years:
The Langford Beer Festival continues to provide a fantastic range of entertainment, fine Ales and an ambience that’s hard to beat. Not everyone though likes to drink Ale and so for the last 6 years we have been running the Wine Cellar. If you haven’t been before then you will find a good range of wines to suit most tastes and if you are not sure what your taste is, then why not try a little of them all to see what you like through our tutored wine tasting. For those regulars who come each year, you will know that we change our line up each year to keep things interesting. We like to respond to comments we get at the event and adapt to emerging trends.
Great Setting
Great Setting At the wine cellar we also want you to enjoy your wine in appropriate surroundings and so we decorate and set out the marquee to give it a kind of cosy bistro feel. It also occupies a prime spot on the complex and affords a good view of the band and is right next to the food. What more could you ask for?
Everyone’s taste in wine is unique therefore we carefully select different wines from around the world each year, that vary in style and where for example, the same grape variety can be dramatically different from country to country.
The format for the wine is that we offer 4 reds, 4 whites and a fizz. If you are interested in wine, come and have a chat with us and we will talk you through each wine and offer advice. Whilst we would not claim to be experts, we have a passion for wine, enjoy what we drink and continually strive to learn more. We go to many outlets in this country and abroad to source wines that we think you will enjoy (they are wines that we personally like and enjoy and may well keep in our own personal stock). Our aim is to provide something a bit different and not just what you might find in your local supermarket.
Wine this year will be sold for cash rather than beer tokens as in previous years. All wines will be £3.00 per glass. If you are not sure what you like, then why not try a little of each for £6.00. Wine can be sold by the bottle (see separate price list on the day), but so that we don’t run out and can continue to offer a good selection, we prefer not to sell by the bottle before 10pm each night.
The Wines this year will be:-
Reds.
Castillo Estables Gran Reserva 1999, Wolf Blass Yellow label Cabernet Sauvignon 2007, Laboure – Roi Fleurie 2006,, Domaine Py Merlot 2007
