Gin in the Park
Last week
Relish descended en masse to the sun-soaked Regent's Park to see our
client Gin Mare who had taken a stand at Taste of London. We had
worked with Gin Mare on their UK debut at Distil in May, so it was
great to see their Ibiza-inspired bar at Taste. We enjoyed their
trademark Molecular Martini cocktail - delicious, and really brought
out the flavour key botanical the Arbequina olive.

Croatia comes to London
25
th
May saw Croatia's first generic tasting
in the UK. Producers from around thirty different wineries from
Istria, Dalmatia, and Continental Croatia attended the Fine Wine
from Croatia tasting at the Hotel Intercontinental on Park Lane,
bringing with them an array of wines from grape varieties rarely
seen in the UK. Highlights included diverse styles of Malvazija
Istriana with excellent minerality, as well as some luscious
stickies, and some really interesting natural wines. Turn-out was
great, with plenty of positive feedback, so hopefully we?ll be
seeing more of these wines on UK shelves and wine lists very
soon...

All the fun of the Fair...
The first half
of the year is traditionally a busy one for Relish, as we look after
the PR for LIWF and Distil. 2010 was no exception, but it was great
to see the trade out in force at ExCeL for the 30th London International Wine Fair and
Distil. After a difficult year, it seems that the trade is really
getting back on its feet, with all the exhibitors we spoke to
reporting a really successful show.

From Russia with....
wine
Relish was
appointed to handle the PR for Russian sparkling wine producer
Abrau-Durso in the lead-up to its debut at the London International
Wine Fair. 2010 marked the first year that a Russian winery had
exhibited at the LIWF, and Abrau-Durso, which produces traditional
method sparkling wiens from Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and
Riesling, under the guidance of renowned Champagne oenologist Herve
Gestin, attracted an unprecedented amount of interest over the three
days of the LIWF, so watch this space for more Russian wine in the
UK.
