Number one pick on a day like today has got to be the awesome Bisol Jeio Prosecco, a favourite from the Wondering Wine Company list and one of their top selling wines from this summer’s run of events. Its affordable, elegant bubbles proving a real winner this summer.

As one who likes to go and try out new food and wine haunts in London Town I was always slightly disappointed that a certain area of area of North London was void of a certain quality of gastropub. As it happens this place is Holloway and it’s where I currently reside. An especially and notably dry area of my beloved N7 is Tufnell …

Readers of Spittoon will know I have a ’special relationship’ with Prosecco – that trendy, low-ish alcohol, Italian sparkling wine that I, and many of my friends, seem to be addicted to.

I know the headline lacks my usual rapier-like wit or subtle understatement, but I was a bit short on inspiration and the message here is very simple. Between midday and 8pm tomorrow, two of my favourite fellow bloggers will be running their first ever stall at the Covent Garden market.
Their offering, like any great food and wine enterprise, is simple. Smoked Salmon from Ireland’s greatest smoker and Prosecco from Italy’s finest. Prices are …
Venice is full of people. It’s teeming all day, and I imagine, all night. It’s magical and jaw-dropping and inspiring, but for me it’s just a bit…well…over-subscribed. My new wife and I were in the city just after our recent wedding. As much as we were wowed by the architecture, the narrow passageways and the amazing walking, it was merely a resting point between two oasises of …
Tuesday saw Vinopolis celebrate its 10th birthday with an almighty amount of balloons. 1000 purple airbags successfully wended their way through the Southwark skyline to all corners of the earth. And as the corkscrew unravelled in the sky, guests were treated to glasses of Jeio Prosecco and some very smart canapes. Bisol are quite new to the Vinopolis set-up but as I was leaving, corks were popping with …
