Asparagus and Lamb – what a great time of year!

The Beaujolais has for many years had a special place in our hearts for the sheer drinkability of the wines so we were really looking forward to a quick visit to taste the 2017 harvest, now in bottle, and a couple of wines from the 2018 vintage.

When we first started Gerrard Seel Ltd. some 34 years ago, the wines of the Beaujolais were the height of fashion.

Getting wines that pair well with your Christmas dinner can seriously enhance your enjoyment of both the foods and the wines.

Throughout Italy, the pig is king. Be it in terms of salami and salumi or simply roasted as it is here, Italians love pork dishes.

This is a time of year when many foods really shine when partnered with the Riesling grape. 

By the end of summer, you’ve probably had your fill of bright red berries so it’s good to know that the best of the season is upon us for apples!

If you have apple trees, you’ll have loads of apples at this time of years. So why not try this French apple tart? It’s really quick to make and fantastic to eat with cream or ice-cream.

Thinking a bit more about shellfish now it’s back in season, one of our favourites is oysters – yes not everyone’s cup of tea but to lovers of them, there’s nothing finer.
