Winter’s Here, Hamper Cheer!

Winter’s Here – I love it! This time of year is a sort of slowing down and speeding up for us. I always used to like the farm as winter approached (that’s my brother John off to check on the sheep in the picture and I couldn’t resist including the stunning photo of the Welsh […]

Emma’s Farewell Case. Where do I begin?

Dylanwad, appropriately, has been a considerable ‘influence’ in my life and is partly responsible in shaping the person I am. After some 30 years I am moving on and have such fond memories and built genuine everlasting friendships with many. A huge ‘Diolch’ to all. These are just 6 wines I have selected to be […]

Panettone – Christmas Luxury!

Fratelli Sicilia Panettone We get very excited at this time of the year in Dylanwad when all the beautifully presented Christmas stock arrives. We have a trusted importer for our luxury Fratelli Sicilia Panettone. They range from traditional or caramel to a luxury chocolate & pistachio at the top of their range. Traditionally Made Panettone In my opinion, […]

Coffee in Dylanwad

By Emma UK Coffee Week It was UK coffee week this week. Let me tell you about coffee we use and sell here in Dylanwad. We love coffee in Dylanwad and in our cafe we use Segafredo Extra Strong coffee beans. This is a blend of the finest coffee beans grown at high altitudes in […]

A Taste of the Rhone

Crozes-Hermitage Domaine les Chenêts, Crozes Hermitage Let’s have a bottle of wine! This is a frequent refrain and of course we are lucky enough to have a good selection from which we can choose. We usually play the blind tasting game and concluding it was a northern Rhone wine was fairly easy in this instance. […]

New Vineyard – Our first proper trip!

Domaine de Miselle July in Agen, the prune capital of France and I’m waiting for Dylan on the roadside. I feel pretty conspicuous with my rucksack, hoping the pinned position I have sent works. He flies past in the tiniest rental car and halts 100 meters up the road. ‘I didn’t expect you to be […]

Celebrating Prosecco

Vinitaly was something I had never experienced before. It is colossal!!! A scary car trip (nothing to do wth Dyl’s driving…this time) from beautiful Lake Garda into Verona. A crammed bus full of other wine enthusiasts eagerly entering this 4 day show of around 2000 producers spread over dozens of pavilions. Thank goodness for Dyl […]

A Brand-New Welsh Wine

Vale Vineyard I am in awe of anyone who decides they’re going into the wine production game. It’s a long hard slog in any country with a huge financial outlay and years to wait for any returns on your money. In Wales, I would say that it’s an even greater risk considering our climate. However, […]

World Albariño Day 01/08/22

Fancy a nice crisp dry white with your barbequed fish? Well, I would plump for a good Albariño (Alvarinho in Portugal and used in the famous Vinho Verde) any day. This grape is becoming increasingly popular and if you enjoy a Sauvignon, you will be quite likely to enjoy this zippy grape variety from Galicia […]
