Rory's Christmas Stocking!
Some of my favourite wines of the year, things more people should try or sneaky rare stuff! Bouland Beaujolais, Les Deux Cols (Kildare) Rhone, Grand Cru Champagne, Riesling, Alvaro Palacios, Christmas Claret, and my favourite Christmas treat - PORT! This is what I'll be drinking these Christmas unless you get there first!
Some serious discovery pricing on a few of these.
