 We've got gifts galore (already beautifully gift wrapped to save you the bother)... divine whites to go with the turkey... beautiful clarets to enjoy by a roaring fire... dessert wine and Port to go with the Christmas pudding.... and plenty of festive fizz to see in the New Year with... But there's more!

 Pop into see us at the shop for more information, or you can call us on 0208 940 0881.

 Here's a few of our favourite festive wines -

 Chateau Moncets, Lalande de Pomerol, Bordeaux 2004, £16.99

 This is one of our favourite Christmas clarets. Warm and full bodied, beautifully balanced, with a heady aroma, silky texture, and long delicious finish. This wine is such a crowd pleaser, and a pleasure to serve with the main meal on the big day.

 Les Ormeaux, Joseph Mellot, Sancerre, Loire Valley 2010, £15.50

 This is the perfect white wine to stock up on for the holidays. A fantastically made Sancerre, dry and crisp with bags of gooseberry and lime aromas. Everyone will love this white wine, especially NZ sauvignon blanc fans. A Christmas classic.

 Henriot Brut Souverain, Champagne NV, was £33 now £28

 I can't highly enough recommend this very fine Champagne. It's made by a smaller producer, and is only available in a handful of retailers in the UK. Try this wine and it's difficult to believe just how great value it is! Dry, creamy, soft and wonderful. The ideal fizz to celebrate with.

 Chateau Bastor Lamontagne, Sauternes, Bordeaux 2005, was £33 now £29.70

 For me, Christmas is the perfect time to splash out on a really good bottle of dessert wine. This classic Sauternes is from the blockbuster 2005 vintage, and is a rather superior wine. It's full, rich and sweetly sticky, with intense and complex aromas of honey, marmalade and dried fruit - it smells a bit like Christmas pudding! Serve chilled after dinner.

 Merry Christmas from the team @ Richmond Hill,
