Welcome
Hi! I’m Gemma and I’ve owned The Jolly Vintner since 2016. I have over 15 years’ trade experience, living in Italy, France and the Maldives working with wine and absorbing wine culture.
I’m not just here to tell you about all the wines I love and answer your questions, I’m also here to pour you a glass and help you find the perfect pairing.
Whether you’re after a good old fashioned ‘quaffer’ or something rather special we’ve curated a selection of quality wines to be shared and enjoyed. Not forgetting our collection of local beers, ciders and spirits if you’re not so grape inclined.
Wines of
the week
Every week we select at least four wines from around the world for you to taste and enjoy by the glass.
This week we’re delighted to introduce you to:
J Fernando Rueda Verdejo, Spain
The perfect aperitif to channel the Spanish sun! A dry, crisp Verdejo.
234 Chardonnay, Spain
Incredible single vineyard Chard from Enate in Somontano. Rich, textured and full of flavour.
Cruel Mistress Pinot Noir, Australia
Silky smooth, savoury yet full of fruit. A real winner.
Pasquiers Côtes du Rhône
Organic Rhône blend – traditional and classy.
You are also welcome to select any bottle from the shop to drink in with a £10 corkage fee.
