LIST
2015
Yes we love wine, we are a wine
merchant! But we also love a cool
pint of Yorkshire Bitter...
...aah drive out the Northern Thirst.
Favourite Things Edition
2015 Wine List
I do hope that you like our wine list cover for our 2015 wine list. With the help of the internet and
Google, I found this wonderful picture titled “Ice Cream Sundae” painted by Helene S. Leonardi.
I Managed to find Helene, she lives in Brooklyn in New York City and for a few dollars she has
allowed us to reproduce her lovely picture.
So this is the lead into our Favourite Things Edition. A personal and eclectic mix of food and wines, a bit
of fun. Our range of wines increases. An exciting new arrangement in Prosecco with the prestigious Casa
Astoria. In South Africa I am delighted to be working with the superb wines of Groote Post.
The Firth & Co collection of wines is being launched this year and I look forward to introducing you to
them in the coming months.
Please have a good read through the list and get in touch for more information.
I hope they will become some of your favourite things! (cheesy I know)
Very best wishes,
Andrew J. Firth

Champagne & Sparkling
The ultimate in sparkling wines are produced here by the perfected “by monks”
Methode Champenoise, this is the method of a secondary fermentation happening
in the bottle to give the wine its fizz. The climate here is very cold in the winters
but with lots of sunshine and warmth in the Spring and Summer, prices are getting
a little more realistic during this endless recession.

White Burgundy
The home of the Chardonnay grape, we also have an Aligote, but this is where Chardonnay
shows at its very best, often developed with the careful use of oak to develop the aromas and
flavours as well as to add longevity to some of the great wines. Great Chardonnay and great
White Burgundy should never be dominated by the oaky flavours that spoilt so many New
World imitators.
The wines from my friends at Pierre Ferraud et Fils in the South of Burgundy continue to
impress with their delicious ripe flavours. Chablis continues to offer great value and steely dry
minerally Chardonnay of the highest order..

This is the main artery of French food and wine, a total delight.

The third largest producer of wines, famed for Rioja, Sherry and Cava, but many other areas
are producing really interesting wines. The Albarino grape grown on the Atlantic coast of
Galicia is something very special and unique. High in the hills of Ribero del Duero the reds
produced here have a totally different character than Rioja even though they use the same
grape (just call it by a different name).

South Africa
This is a country with the potential to produce great wines. They seem to have most of the key
ingredients, climate, soils, terroir, experience and cuisine. Maybe it just takes a bit of time now,
a bit more age on the vines a bit more experience and a bit more export activity.
It is certainly a country I like very much and am a great admirer of their wines, looking to further
expand the range. We would like to think of this area as being a specialism of ours.
