A note from Brian
Every member who has joined us came to a tasting first. That is not an accident. This is the kind of thing that is very difficult to explain on a page and quite straightforward to understand over a glass of wine with the vines in front of you.
We host open tastings at the vineyard every Friday and Saturday. You taste the wines, walk the plots, meet the team if they are around, and ask anything you want. There is no presentation and no pitch. If it feels right for you, we talk about next steps. If it does not, you have had a good afternoon in La Rioja.
We also travel. If you have a group of five or more people in London, Amsterdam, or anywhere else, get in touch and we will see what we can arrange. Some of the best tastings we have done have been around someone’s kitchen table. Fill in the form and tell us a little about yourself. We will be in touch within a day or two.
