Christmas tunes: some people love them, some people not so much. Personally, if I never hear Mariah Carey's cash cow again that would be just fine! But I ain't no humbug;  I love a bit of 'Winter Wonderland', East 17's cringy 'Stay Another Day' makes me feel bewilderingly nostalgic, and I get misty-eyed at the final verse of 'Fairytale Of New York'. 

Jacques has been managing our shop in Frodsham for a couple of years now, and fresh from his starring role in ITV's Killer Camp this Halloween, we asked him about his plans for Christmas. Needless to say the waxing lyrical went on for some time, but who are we to argue with a man who got blown to bits in the back of a hay trailer on national television?

Our regular customers will know that we need little if any excuse to try new wines and pick a few new ones for our shelves in Heswall and Frodsham, or for selling here online for that matter. Is Autumn an excuse? Why yes, it is here... Here's Graham with a few top choices joining the Whitmore & White wine range this month from Spain and Austria!

Never one to stand still for long, Graham has returned from yet another arduous wine safari to bring another round of new wines to our shelves in Heswall and Frodsham, as well as being available online here!

My latest marriage of grape and groove tells the tale of how a Mexican guitar virtuoso was inspired by a boozy New York saxophonist to write a tune that would enthrall a celebrated author and grace a sunset over Spain's North Atlantic coast. The grape is

I adore this dish - in fact it's a firm favourite with all the W&W team! This is a very traditional Spanish dish, which is as delicious as it is simple.

We're thrilled to say that Wild Fizz Kombucha is now available at Whitmore & White in Heswall and Frodsham! If you've been paying attention to pretty much anything lately, the word Kombucha will be familiar to you already, hailed to be the next big thing and countless stories of numerous health benefits. So what is it, who are Wild Fizz and how do they make it taste so good?

We like to keep you all on your toes here at W&W, so we're thrilled to welcome plenty of new wines onto our shelves this month! In the first part of our four-part blog series about some of our new wines we are having a bit of a round the world trip to introduce the first six. We'll visit Germany and Italy in Europe then hop over to Australia for a trio of reds followed by a voyage across the Pacific to Chile's coast.
