Tasing Event Haslemere Museum
Tasing Event Haslemere Museum
As GWC has such a broad range of interesting and classic wines, I invited a number of wine friends to this event. The wines on show were simply average. Nothing electic or off-the beaten track e.g. Greece, Mallorca, Georgia, etc. Maybe you've changed and gome "middle of the road", away from you Classic and interesting vibe that I have loved. You have serious competition from Grayshott wine, who show the sort of wines you used to excel in.

Late delivery
It took 10 days for my shipment to arrive. This never happened when you delivered the shipments yourself - often I would get it the next day. I'm considering using an alternative supplier next time

Polite friendly helpful both via the online ordering to the team in the Liphook shop and the Liphook warehouse. Very knowledgable many times have used and recommend to anyone in the area. Often have a wonder around the shop getting an extra bottle of something different to try
