One of the Great Wines Online ‘family’ got married this
weekend! We ensured that the bride, her Mum and the bridesmaids, could enjoy a
bottle or three of the Prosecco while having their nails done the day before.... and we made sure they left us some for toasts on the day!
We designed a label and personalised it with the bride and
groom’s names, the date and a little message – they were thrilled.
A few weeks ago, we ran a tasting – around the kitchen table
of course – to choose which wines we thought would be best to serve at the
reception. One of our favourite whites is the Mooiplaas Peach Chenin Blanc –
but we decided that this would be just a little heavy for a hot summer’s day
(ever the optimists). So, we opted for the Picpoul from the Languedoc,Terrasses de la Mar. This will suit most tastes, we felt, and complement the
food too.
For a red wine, we wanted something a little spicy but light
– so another of our favourites – the Bean Pinotage from South Africa, was the
wine of choice.
Fortunately, the weather was kind and it was a wonderful day - and the wines went down a treat!

A toast to the happy couple!
