Spring has sprung - progress on the most Northern Vineyard in England....


Hello!!  It's been a while, lots going on......

So, if you follow our* page on Facebook (here's the link if you want to check it out) you'll of had a bit more insight into whats been going down!  If not, don't panic, you can enjoy this update now!

* I say 'our' as this has now definitely become a 'we' thing, without Nina (who is writing this) you wouldn't be reading this! Plus, although there is an 'I' in vineyard and an 'I' in wine, there isn't in team and you'd need a team to drink all the wine....

We've been making friends with lots of lovely people and just wanted to give them all a shout out!  At the end of last year, we got a message from Kelvyn and Ruth from Guest Wines and they invited us to one of there wine events.  Think less 'Come dine with me' more 'Come wine with me' or even 'Come wine with me and then come wine again'!  So there was lots of wine and Matt really enjoyed drinking all the wine.

We had the pleasure of meeting Oz Clarke, what a lovely chap.  He was very supportive and very interested in our project, we hope to get him up to the vineyard one day!

More recently we managed to get Kelvyn and Ruth up to the vineyard so they could see the vision and follow us on our journey! Thanks for the visit and we look forward to your second visit in the summertime!  Please do have a look at their website, we would highly recommend you go to an event!
Kelvyn, Ruth and a mini Guest!

We're only just realising how busy we've been by recapping on all that's happened....so much and we've barely even started!

A couple of weeks ago we managed a bit more wine tasting but this time at our mates shop.  We're becoming wine connoisseurs or at least we're trying to!  Our mates Will and Jade at Boda Home in Whitley Bay have a great selection of wine, beer and other alcoholic delights and we would highly recommend a visit!  One day, they'll stock our wine I'm sure but in the mean time they have lots to keep you going.

We would highly recommend a sparkling number, it's all about the sparkling wine now....

Right that's all the 'other business' covered so here's the next vineyard update from Matt...



So, until the next time.....and thanks for following our wine adventures......
