An evening of cheese and wine in Chiswick.

By on 22/10/2015

With eager anticipation we gathered. On the day that marked Back to the Future Day, we were jouneying back before Marty McFly to a time when the height of sophistication was a cheese and wine party. But there were to be no cubes of supermarket cheddar and pineapple on cocktail sticks for us, we were going to do cheese properly.

Lea and Sandeman Wine Merchants - Chiswick

Loire Valley Tasting – L&S Chiswick – Wednesday 23rd April – 8pm

By on 28/03/2014

With the days getting longer and warmer (hopefully), this Spring-like Season calls for wines from the Jardin de France.

Lea and Sandeman Independent Wine Merchants - 2013 Christmas

Christmas Tasting in Chiswick

By on 10/12/2013

The theme, such as you need a theme beyond ‘Christmas’, was to put a few less likely wines in front of people, to test and tantalize the taste-buds. With that in mind, we left out the traditional option of Champagne, and kicked off with the very splendid Gusbourne 2008 Brut Reserve from the Garden of England, a zippy but textured fizz that works really well as an aperitif.
