We view our portfolio as a 'work in progress' and hold regular tastings with all wines tasted and app
In case you missed it, we delivered a big, fat smile to the FIRST EVER live baseball game at The London Stadium. Okay, it was last week and we’re a bit late posting, but let’s call this a throwback Thursday thing... is that a thing? Let’s make it a weekly thing.
This is Bernie, maybe a bit beaming landing this delivery... well, it doesn’t happen every day.
It was great being part of history.
Life is funny, huh? Just like a curveball, surprises can make life exciting!
What gig are you gearing up for? Maybe we can help you out. Local or not so local.
Hit me up.
You know I’ll throw in a freebie :)
Cheers!

Getting ready for a wine tasting for a new restaurant opening soon. You only get one chance to make 1st impression, getting the wines right and the right wines is sooooo important for a new place. We achieved that, with 5 reds & 5 whites a couple of rose and some sparkling, can’t wait for the opening…… sworn to secrecy 🤫🤫🤫

What does a Merlot blend bring to a Malbec? Merlot leans towards silky, whereas Malbec is bold and spicy. Both are dry red wines that are common as single varietal wines, as well as blending grapes.
Together = An Argentinian Dream

🔥 A delicious Winter red - plush, blueberry fruited, violet scented Malbec from an unexpected region in California’s central valley. What’s not to like?
Grapes are sourced from the northern end of California's long central valley. Malbec here benefits from the cooling influence of San Francisco bay so grapes retain freshness. 84% of the US Malbec is produced in California and in our option they have it spot on.

Did you know Chile is known for making some of the most popular Sauvignon Blanc in the world? The wines are light, refreshing, citrusy and enjoyable, as is our Tierra Alta.
https://www.paramountwines.co.uk/products/tierra-alta-sauvignon-blanc
A fresh and crisp wine with ripe citrus fruit. Packed with lime zest, lemon and kiwi fruit flavours. Think of cool glacial streams and enjoy the refreshing, racy acidity on the finish.
One to try in 2023.

Wine pairings for cheese and charcuterie boards 🧀🍖
'Tis the season after all... after hosting many wine tasting evenings myself here are my top 3 bottles to pair your grazing boards with.
Parlez Vous Pinot Noir
From the Loire Valley a Ruby red coloured wine that is moderately intense. A lovely light and delicate Pinot Noir with cherry fruits and a hint of Vanilla.
Mirabello Pinot Grigio
A pale, golden straw colour, this wine offers a lightly fruity bouquet and a subtle, refreshing flavour. Moderate acidity and notes of honeydew melon.
Ceradello Organic Prosecco
Soft and delicate fruit and floral aromas give way to peach notes on the palate, with an appealing texture and fresh finish.
All available online for delivery wit https://www.paramountwines.co.uk/

Wine of the week: Tesoro de los Andes 🍷🍇
The Malbec grapes are sourced from carefully selected vineyards in the Mendoza region of Argentina. Bonarda adding a fruity freshness to the blend.
Delightful expression of huge brambly Malbec. The nose offers an appealing, mixed spice, bramble fruit bomb followed by dark, damson and savoury overtones on the palate. The finish is smooth, rounded and nicely balanced.
Perfect for Autumn.🧣🍂🍁🔥🫕🌰🧡

NEW - German wines are delicious! A bit more information about the ones I have just added to our portfolio.
𝘽𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙛𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙚 𝙆𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙧 𝙍𝙞𝙚𝙨𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙆𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙩𝙩 𝙏𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙣
Vibrant aromas of stone fruit, elderflower and ripe citrus with a bright and zesty palate of lime and grapefruit notes.
𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙯 𝙒𝙞𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙢 𝙈𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙡 𝙍𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜
Fragrant aromas of ripe apricot and citrus and more ripe stone fruit and a zesty lemon sherbert character. The style is appealingly off-dry with a well-balanced, crisp finish.
Enjoy!

My happy place! Tasting wines for YOU to enjoy.
Last week I visited the Boutinot Wines 2023 tasting for the release of the southern hemisphere vintages that were picked back in February/March.
The nicest one was a Gremillet Champagne, Blanc de Noirs that I shall be stocking soon.
Another one I loved that I haven’t tried for a while was a German Fritz Willi Riesling which is ‘off dry’ - it’s just arrived in stock.

How we got started
Back in the summer of 2004, there I was with a few friends enjoying dinner and a glass of wine when I thought, "you know what, this wine isn't very good, I am sure I could source better than this" and there the idea for my own wine business was born.
In January 2005 Paramount Wines made its first tentative steps into the world of wine. Here we are nearly 15 years later with a portfolio of absolute quality.
We view our portfolio as a 'work in progress' and hold regular tastings to add wines or replace some of the range. Wines that we decide to take on and offer are all tasted and approved by the team, many are rejected, but the ones that make it, you can be sure, are fantastic wines that won't break the bank.
