This month we have the first full offer from Swig, the adventurous young merchants from west London. You wouldn’t go to Swig if you wanted a list of every vintage of every great Bordeaux chateau over the past three decades or the costliest Burgundies, but if you want to find exciting wines from umpteen countries at remarkable prices, then they are your boys, or in the case of Lucia, your girl.
As always, when I went round to Swig world headquarters in Chiswick, they offered me 20 or so different wines, and I wanted to offer you every one. So it’s been an agonising choice. All of them reflect the remarkable developments in wine-making everywhere. There is just too much good wine swilling about the place for us to make an easy selection.
But the goodies I’ve picked include one absolutely amazing wine which knocked my socks off, and will thrill you too, plus another which is fabulous value.
