Advice
Do please call us should you need advice on any aspect of wine. We can certainly answer most queries on cellaring (see also "Storage" under Wine Info), drinking windows, food-matching, decanting and serving wine.
And if we can't offer you coherent recommendations ourselves, we should be able to put you in touch with someone who can.
Call 01962 712351 and speak to Simon Taylor or Gordon Coates
