Now 10 years on we work with amazing and talented people in the world of wine and hospitality. We offer trade accounts to businesses based in the North East, our local area. We also sell wine to customers all over the UK through our website.
We’re always learning and evolving. The business is more challenging than ever but our love for the wines we sell only grows.

We visited the area 10 years ago in 2013 and you can read more about this story here at Guest Measures Blog on Bordeaux.
