A 2018 Bordeaux that still needs plenty of aeration to show its best:

Less-but-better January is my mantra - your local indie will thank you.
And still be around in Feb, when you are ready to start again.

Thank you Tom - we love this Soave - it’s definitely earning its place on our list.
I'm a relatively recent convert to Soave, but a complete convert now - I reckon it's the volcanic soils.
Pieropan is the name everyone mentions; Antonio Fattori's Gregoris from @PrivateCellar got me into it and is now a personal favourite:

Can highly recommend @PrivateCellar - their buyer is an MW, they have trainee MWs in the business and customer service is fantastic (speak to the lovely @laura_and_wine).
Plenty of really lovely wines that punch above their weight around £10.

The wines I don't like generate more interest than those I do.
This was excellent and is highly recommended - please spread the word:

Thanks Tom - it’s great to see these wines get a mention as good every day drinkers 🍷
Here you go @VinoViews - just got round to writing up this lovely entry-level Bordeaux from @PrivateCellar (along with a really interesting Verdejo).
Both brilliantly recommended by @laura_and_wine

Big fan of Private Cellar - my go-to for well-made, reliable wines that punch above their price point.
If I ever want to persuade someone of the merits of an indy vs supermarket / internet retailer, I give them a few similarly priced Private Cellar wines to try.

Three roses from @PrivateCellar - none of them quite what I would expect.
But in a good way.
Do you know these @LizGabayMW ?

Wine tasting with @PrivateCellar at @TheJockeyClub in Newmarket. Lovely building and reminds me that I need to get out more

Something of a first for me: a CWB Soave-Off; prompted in part by @donalde

Why is Macon the George Harrison of Burgundy and which part of Australia makes Burgundian style Chardies?
It's the CWB Burgundian Chardonnay-Off:

Recently learnt from @donalde that Soave is grown on volcanic soils; I think that's why I like it so much.
This, from @PrivateCellar, was really lovely:

Wrote something on the wondrous wines of SA's new wave producers but what is it with the James May-style shirts? thecritic.co.uk/drink-in-to-… @swig_wine @PrivateCellar @wineguroo @Alimannewpr @TheCriticMag @TheBuyer11

Yes, @cambridgewine is one of many local indies round here, my go-to for classics.
@PrivateCellar have an MW buyer, so quality very good.
@jobarneswines are quirky and funky - and that's just Charles.
Also good are:

- @ThirstyCamb
- @nywines

Bought a couple of cases of reliable, inexpensive, classy drinkers from @PrivateCellar for my parents - Soave, Loire, Picpoul, Rhone and Bdx.
Everyone's a winner.
