|
We stock over 200 different wines, 40 fortified wines, 60 liqueurs, 40
single malts, close on 2 dozen blended whiskies & whiskeys, hand made
Cuban cigars and about 50 regional beers (mostly bottled). We have no
intention with boring you with all of those, not just yet anyway.
However there are a few which I feel I owe it to you to bring to your
attention, now!
|
SHERRY
|
 |
|
We do tend to specialise in Sherry to a certain extent, but nothing
too unusual these days. However we do sell them well and I am enthusiastic
about them. Our “LAKES RANGE” bottled
in Spain by Emile Lustau are good and they are popular both within
and outside the area (a good barometer with which to judge I feel).
Buttermere Cream, Bassenthwaite Amontillado & Wastwater
Fino all @ £5.35
Manzanilla Solear, Barbadillo, aged at least 5 years.
£6.99 & ½ bottle £3.75
Manzanilla de Sanlucar, Barbadilla £5.55
Full Dry Oloroso, Barbadilla £5.85
William Humbert Dry Sack (medium) £8.20
William & Humbert Walnut Brown, a dark brown,
sweet sherry £8.20

REGIONAL BOTTLED BEERS
|
 |
|
And finally to our list of Regional Bottled Beers. Now I do know
it is not considered smart in some circles to admit to having a
compulsive love of British beer, but I do and I do have some of
the physical signs which prove it. “What will be will be.” All these
beers are brewed in Cumbria.
