Books and things

We have a great range of books for the wine enthusiast/obsessed. All books and accessories can be mailed to you...

Kermit Lynch's Adventures on the Wine Route would have to be one of the best books on French wine and has inspired my spending often, over many years of travelling and tasting wines
(all under the guise of work...) we have this book in stock.


New De Longs grape vine varietal charts in stock...technical and beautiful!!

New opinel Bread knifes and garden knifes in stock..also new glassware and books!!




We stock Laguiole corkscrews and now the famous "opinel" knife, handmade and used by many vignerons in France and around the world!
