Latest News - August 2022

Now Summer has truly started, Yorkshire based Ake and Humphris have some exciting new wines and beers to shout about. As the Wine and Beer Specialists in Harrogate and Collingham, we have further improved our range and we are continuing our free local delivery service operating in HG1, HG2, LS22, LS23 postcodes.

Hooray - In Store Tastings Are Back!

In our Harrogate store on the last Thursday of every month we are holding a themed informal wine tasting. Our first theme, on July 28th, was "Retro", featuring old favourites with a modern twist.

On August 25th at 8pm, it will be all about "Wine Vacation," when you can savour some top quality wines from favourite holiday hotspots. Tickets are very limited, so please call now to book your space on 01423 566009.

In Collingham, we are sampling some of our new Summer wines every Friday afternoon, when you can get a sip of our best newbies - on Friday August 5th it'll be the Gamay featured in Phil's latest blog about Summer Reds to be chilled in the fridge. The week after that, we'll have a South African Sauvignon Blanc for you to try. So why not pop down every Friday afternoon in Collingham for a taste of something new.

Newsletter and Social Media

It is great that you have subscribed to our Newsletter. From this Summer we are going to become much more active on our social media channels, giving updates on our wines of the week, what's new in store, our best offers and in-store tastings.

Check-out Paul on the latest Instagram post at our first monthly tasting which was all about Retro Wines!

New Summer Value Treats

We have sourced loads of new wines for under £10, and some fantastic beers from local suppliers. We now have over 50 wines under £10 which all taste amazing. Examples include some of the wines from Sicily, which are incredible.

Paul discovered La Bacca Nerllo Mascalese which is Burgundian in style, grown on the slopes of Mount Etna but at a fraction of the price.

A new white from the sunny shores of Sicily is the Zagare Vermentino. Vermentino is a lovely fresh summer white. These are just two examples with many more to try.
