Paxton & Whitfield and Fonseca Port recently held a cheese and port tasting at their flagship Jermyn Street shop

The Fladgate Port Harvest press trip took place this year from 16-18 September and saw journalists, Tom Cannavan, David Kermode and Phoebe French join us for a visit to Porto and the Douro Valley.

The Mentzendorff Portfolio Tasting was recently held at 1 Great George Street, London; the theme of this year’s tasting was sustainability and the topic was explored in depth at a seminar and panel discussion chaired by Peter Richards MW and featuring a selection of speakers from across the Mentzendorff Portfolio, including Denis Bunner – Champagne Bollinger, Federico Ceretto – owner, Anthony Hamilton Russell of Hamilton Russell Vineyards, Andrew Donaldson – founder of Akitu from New Zealand’s Central Otago and Adrian Bridge CEO of the Fladgate Partnership.

Get inspired by Mentzendorff’s Fine Wine Sales Manager, Anthony Field-Johnson, with some great Christmas food and wine pairings!
