In the spirit of self-sacrifice...

...I had to taste wines to choose an assortment for the Creel and its Blue Lobster Bar. This was last Friday (so I'm sober now 😀).
Picture
The aim was too choose a few very special Italian wines from a truly special importer who brings to the UK wines made by small, traditional winemakers all over Italy. The tasting did not actually help much – too many of the wines were seriously special and totally delicious!!! I would have liked to stock them all! However, this one will definitely be on my list
Picture
But the tasting did at least help confirm who will supply the Creel's wines:

The Italian wines will come from
Ethical Edibles from whom I got the wines above 

French and New World wines will come from Orkney's own top wine merchant (who joined me for the tasting above):
Kirkness & Gorie

and a Georgian wine or two will come from
The Georgian Wine Society 
​
Some wonderful food pairings await.

    I like to take photos and am fond of clichés - so I'll say I find them to be worth a thousand words.
