A Farewell to 2008….
Looking back on a year that has presented many challenges through a weakening pound and the doom and gloom painted via the media should be a depressing focus. However 2008 for the Tasting Room proved to be a succesful year on many fronts – this is fast approaching our fifth year since our location in Larkhall. How time flies when you’re enjoying yourself!
The Tasting Room opened solely as a retail shop with the facility to taste before you purchased a single bottle or more. This is still very much the focus with a range of wines from France, Italy, Spain, Australia and New Zealand starting at £5.95, providing for the local community and beyond.
However the launch of a new internet site in 2006 provided a new and exciting opportunity of individual and group wine tastings – those of you who may have passed by on a Saturday afternoon and seen a bevy of beautiful girls enjoying such a tasting session may have questioned how such a job could be obtained. It is this area of wine tastings that has seen such a boom in the last year with parties booking tastings as celebrations, family get togethers, birthdays or corporate rewards for staff providing a fun night out with a difference.
The coming year will see these tastings develop through popular demand into the field of whisky – we will be holding a whisky tasting on a quarterly basis. The next scheduled tasting is on Thursday 12th February or alternatively the option is there to get a small group of like minded friends together and book yourself a whisky tasting of your own.
We hope that the coming year will be as succesful as the last in a time of economic uncertainty – our message is to enjoy a little of what you like with friends who will appreciate you and your wine.
