Terroir Christmas 2007 newsletter

Is it really December again already?!

We have been busy putting together our new Wine List and Website over the past few months and hope to be launching both early in the New Year. Watch this space for information on their imminent arrival. We will be in touch as soon as the new website goes live and will be sending out copies of the new list to customers and members of our Mailing List.

We plan to organise portfolio tastings for 2008 and will be in touch with details as soon as they have been organised.

In the meantime we turn our attention to Christmas and wines for the festive period. We have put together our usual mixed Christmas cases at a discount and some suggestions for festive tipples.

We wish you a very merry Christmas filled with delicious food and wine!
