Everything was fine.
Everything was fine.
My only niggle is that there’s no option to select a day for delivery which is increasingly an issue in this day and age.
Lovely wine though.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm looking into the delivery day option at the moment and how we can implement this service. Have you noticed that on the front page of our website we have an evening with Ernst Loosen coming up soon?
