Charity Wine Tasting Event - Wines of the Atlantic Coasts

On the 14th February, Liam and 6 other men will set off from Gran Canaria, aiming to be the first team in history to row across the Atlantic Ocean to Barbados in under 30 days. This is an incredible challenge, as they aim to row the 3,000 miles, unsupported, in a boat shorter in length than the RED&WHITE shop!

Having had experience with coping with Childhood Cancer within his own family, Liam is using this challenge to raise money and awareness for CLIC Sargent, a charity that supports families struggling with Childhood Cancer. All the proceeds from the ticket sales for this tasting will help support their important work.

The Tasting 


Thursday 26th January, 7.00 -  9.00 pm.
The Wine Store, Fore St, Kingsbridge

Liam has selected 8 of his favourite wines to taste, from countries or regions that border the Atlantic Ocean. These wines are listed below and reflect the broad range of styles that the diverse climates from which they come have to offer.

Fantastic Fridays at the Wine Warehouse

Introducing Red & White's newest grand idea:  Fantastic Fridays at the Wine Warehouse.

Fridays are my favourite day of the week - full of the promise of the weekend ahead, but with none of the hangover of a Saturday morning.  Well they've just got even better, with the Wine Warhouse's Fantastic Fridays shining like a beacon at the end of the week.

Throughout January, February and March we'll be holding very special events at the Wine Warhouse every week - wine tastings, competitions, special sales days and much much more.

This week, it's your chance to taste Red & White's Newest Arrivals.  Mid December saw delivery of  new wines from a trio of great Tuscan wineries (a brilliant new Chianti, an organic red and white from Enrico Santini and new vintages of Caburnio and Monteti), plus 3 delicious new Argentinian Malbecs.  They'll all be open to taste (and buy, of course) all day this Friday 20th January.

So get yourself down to the Wine Warehouse this Friday, try some wines, grab a few bottles for the weekend and start your weekend in style.
