Jane & Dave Wilcox, Pattingham Vineyard :
"In 2016 the family had the opportunity to buy some land adjacant to their home on the outskirts of Pattingham. A quiet picturesque village, tucked away in the beautiful South Staffordshire countryside. Now, we're the first to admit we didn't know a great deal about the winemaking process, but we knew a good wine when we tasted one. We also knew if we put our hard-work and dedication into something, it would work - and so, in 2018 Pattingham Vineyard was born." A small team from DDWS made a visit to this fabulous Vineyard last year we were very excited to have Jane & Dave come to us and present their latest wines. https://www.pattinghamvineyard.co.uk/ |

Ross Donaldson, Lathwaites :
A bit about Ross...."I've been with the company since the Nottingham shop opened in 2017. I hold the WSET level 3, Spirits level 2 and Sake level 1. In 2017, I was fresh out of University after completing a Commercial Photography Degree. I was working part time at a wedding venue when I noticed a new wine shop was opening in West Bridgford. I decided that wine would be my next career move, and I haven’t looked back since!" Following his very successful visit in October 23, we have asked Ross to come and share his selection of wines from Australia it should be a popular evening! https://www.laithwaites.co.uk/jsp/content.jsp?pg=store_nottingham&menu=stores&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=gmb-listing&utm_content=nottingham |

Duncan Murray, Duncan Murray Wines :
"It’s the start of 1997 and Duncan has met Megan (a fellow wine enthusiast). The couple decide it’s time to pursue their dream of living in France and so on Valentine’s Day they pack their little red Renault 5 and head off to Montpellier. Duncan starts working in the vines, but swiftly realises he isn’t cut out for a life tending grapes. Indeed, it strengthens his resolve to open his own shop and so, after a little more time with Oddbins and lots of research, this vision becomes a reality on Thursday 6th December 2001." If you check out our Blog you will see that we visited Duncan's shop in Market Harborough in June last year. The visit was great fun and his enthusiasm for great wine is so contagious, we just had to ask him to come and present to us, so prepare to be a amazed as we go "Round the World" with Duncan at the helm! https://duncanmurraywines.co.uk/ |

As always we look forward to a DDWS members night. This month we will taste a varied selection of wines chosen by seven of our members, perhaps a wine that has a particular significance for them, or simply one that they have enjoyed and want to tell others about. |
