Tuesday 28 June 2011 – 16:47
Wimbledon fever has taken over the British Isles, and the team in Brentford Lock are no exception… It’s time for Strawberries and Cream, Pimm’s and Murray to finally win Wimbledon!

Working at Majestic does allow one to experience some wines which others may not necessarily have the opportunity to try, or have the funds to trade up to and recently I had the pleasure of trying Alter Ego de Palmer 2004, the second wine of Château Palmer.

Rosé-tinted specs…
Monday 1 June 2009 – 9:18
