Last night’s Christmas Portfolio Tasting  was a really great night!

Suppliers and customers alike said it was the best yet with a great atmosphere – and I couldn’t agree more. We have put a limit on the numbers for these events now to ensure that everyone gets to talk to the suppliers and can get to all the tables, and this really seems to be working.

The food afterwards was the poshest shepherd’s pie I’ve ever tasted! – Thank you Simon Bower, you are really taking the Huntleys food to the next level.

We had some stunning wines available last night from £6.95 to £60 and we received a lot of lovely orders from people taking advantage of the 10% discount on the night. I was particularly pleased to see so many of the orders were for the more expensive wines, which just goes to prove if you let people taste a good wine they are confident to trade up once they know how good the wine is going to be!

A lovely climax to the night for me was a first time visitor who said he didn’t know what to expect but it was 10 times better than anything he’d imagined. He has already asked to buy 12 tickets for our Spring Portfolio Tasting on 15th March 2012 – so if the tickets are going to fly out this quickly you had better get your tickets bought soon……
