Drinking Diaries: Tomatin Whisky Tasting

Yep, more booze. Continuing my 2018 as I mean to go on. This is a rather special occasion though, as I’ve never actually written a blog post about whisky before. So I’m pretty excited, and hope I don’t destroy your confidence in me as a writer and a seasoned drinker. We’ll see how it goes.… Read More Drinking Diaries: Tomatin Whisky Tasting

Drinking Diaries: Fine Wine Tasting

Food & Drink, The Finer Things Club

This particular wine tasting is quite a special one. Taking place as per usual at Magnum Wine Shop, Swindon, there’s a fair bit of excitement in the air tonight; owner and dear friend Brian is celebrating his birthday (but being cagey about his age). So to celebrate, we’re rolling out the big guns. We’ll be… Read More Drinking Diaries: Fine Wine Tasting

Drinking Diaries: Gin Tasting Part 2

Once again finding sanctuary in the ever-impressive Magnum Wine Shop in Swindon, I’m eagerly awaiting my selection of gins for the last winter tasting of the season.

Drinking Diaries: Autumn/Winter gin tasting

For those who don’t know me well, I’m a bit of gin enthusiast. No matter what the occasion, a G&T has always been my tipple of choice, and seems so for many others these days. Once again coming into vogue, there’s been a huge rise in its popularity over the past couple of years, with… Read More Drinking Diaries: Autumn/Winter gin tasting

Drinking Diaries: The Hop Inn, Swindon

It’s a drizzly Saturday lunchtime, and I’m enjoying a cheese and onion sandwich with a very shaggy dog at my feet. Seated by a crackling log fire with a decent craft ale, it’s a typically cosy scene at The Hop Inn. Arguably the most famous of free houses within the area, The Hop Inn enjoys… Read More Drinking Diaries: The Hop Inn, Swindon
