Wine with food or on its own? This bottle needs company.

Do you remember M&S brands such as Collection, Collezione, Portfolio and Classic? The company has dropped them all in the last few years because, it says, “we have simplified what had become confusing sub-brands”.  

This month, we’re kicking off a new column called ‘Meet the Proprietor’. In this column, we’ll get to know one of our local shops and learn all about them. 

Tesco don’t do discounts or club card deals on fortified wines. So, thankfully, in contrast to April’s selection, this bottle has just one price.

During a recent Wednesday walkabout, my brother and I were fascinated to notice colourful umbrellas in the outdoor seating enclosure of the Coach and Horses - yes Kibworth’s 18^th Century Coaching Inn is back in business.

(Tesco £16/£13.50/£10.13)

Once again we are looking forward to welcoming you into the calving and lambing sheds at our annual Open Day, on Saturday 22 March at Binleys Bridge Farm, Debdale Lane, Smeeton Westerby, LE8 0QD. Come down to the farm between 11am – 5pm to see the cows calving and sheep lambing. We will hopefully have a few pigs for you to see too.

Please see above a picture of the structure myself (Claire Coppin at the time), James Stanbridge and Charlotte Stanbridge constructed to display in our field at Beauchamp Grange Farm to thank the NHS and put a smile on people’s faces which at the time we were told did just that :-)

Spier Stellenbosch Albariño 2022/23 (Majestic £9.99).
