Ancre Hill Estates, Pet Nat Red, 2022, Wales

I’ve been waiting to review this wine. I’m a fan of most pet nats I’ve tried. And from Wales? How could you not want to give this one a go. So this has been sitting around for rather longer than you might expect. But that’s because I knew TY also wanted to try it, and […]

Sous Le Bouchon, Artisans Partisans, 2022, Languedoc-Roussillon, France

Can’t say I remember how I picked this wine to sample, even though I ordered it only a week or so ago. I was presumably just browsing the Cambridge Wine Merchants website, and came across it.
