Cockburns have every reason to be proud of their vintage 2007 releases.
The Port wine institute does not declare Vintage years every year so Cockburns Vintage and Quinta dos Canais are very special ports indeed.
Could you contemplate Christmas without a good glass of Port? As essential as the Turkey!
Cockburn’s Vintage 2007 is available from Vintage House RRP £33.95 and thedrinkshop.com RRP £32
Quinta dos Canais 2007 is available from Vintage House RRP £31.95 and thedrinkshop.com RRP £30.
Cockburns have also teamed up with specialist cheese retailer Paxton & Whitfield to match an array of fantastic cheeses with their range of white, ruby and tawny ports to encourage people to think beyond stilton and port this Christmas.
The Liquid deli, Demijohn, is a truly unique operation, offering exciting and different slants on Liqueurs, whiskies and oils.
The Demijohn bottles are beautifully individual, with handwritten detailing. The liquid inside is often inspired magic.
Grapefruit Vodka is among the base price for these liqueurs of £3.40 / 100ml. It is sharp as you would expect, but welcomely so.
Other liqueurs which I tried - I wish I hadn’t been so eager, as I will now have to re order - were Nelson’s spiced rum Liqueur, perfect for these winter evenings, a real belly warmer and Damson Gin Liqueur which I now hold dear to my heart.
The Demijohn website is fantastic and tantalising. I urge you to visit. This liquid deli, with eco values and great flavour ideas are going to go from strength to strength. As gifts, I think a couple of the 100 ml bottles would be most welcome and would see change from £10.
There is nothing Simple about Simple Simon’s perfect Pies.
I could be seen as a leading authority on Pies, due to my consumption history. I thought I had tracked down the perfect Pork Pie in County Fermanagh from a butchers that supply Harrods. However, I was wrong but I am happy to report that I have now found the ultimate pie in Simple Simon.
Complex flavours, generous classic fillings and a huge choice make these pies a little more than special.
How about “Gressingham Duck Fillets with 5 spice, Pak choi and spring onion”? It tastes better than it sounds and the smell when you slice it open…!!
Chunks of gamey Venison with blueberries and red wine will have you suitably warmed in this cold winter spell.
Festive Mincemeat and apple pie with a dash of cognac or Rich Chocolate and Morello cherry pie will finish off the most perfect of Christmas days.
The range of pies are staggering, the quality equal. All can be home delivered, what a fantastic gift alternative….(hope Fiancee is reading - I have eaten all the pies and want more!)
In the world of Working Out, nothing is more Iconic than Gold’s Gym. The first Gold’s Gym opened in 1965 in Venice Beach, California.

Today, Gold’s Gym is a global giant, with Gym’s and clothing lines everywhere. The Heritage 65 range, available at John Lewis, is a real trip back in time. The range consists of exercise equipment manufactured from traditional materials such as brass and leather.
