    Tyddyn Llan Winter Warmer Dinner

    Back in the Summer months, Bryan Webb and I managed to agree a date for a Winter Warmer Dinner at his Michelin-starred Tyddyn Llan restaurant with rooms, in Llandrillo, North Wales (that's a lot of LL's!). Great idea I thought, until it dawned on me that Southern Snowdonia in January might be covered in snow! […]

    The Yapp Christmas Tasting & Sale - '8 Days A Week...'

    In our Monday morning planning meeting we were, of course, talking about Christmas - and the two-day Christmas Tasting and Sale at Yapp HQ this weekend. It was noted that the first day of the sale was also 'Black Friday' – and that set my musical ear-worms racing as it was an easy jump from […]

    The Best of Northern Rhône White Wines

    "Northern Rhône white wines", a combination of words that would excite any wine amateur or professional I know. At Yapp Brothers, we've been importing these rare wines for over 47 years and felt it would arouse a particular interest to offer our wine lovers to study them in-depth. What better place in London to host […]

    Following on from a very enjoyable shop tasting in April we're now looking forward to the next event on Thursday 25th May when our Retail Team - under the impeccable and expert guidance of our own MW (Meirion Williams) - will be popping some corks on this season's freshest rosés and most effervescent sparkling wines.

    Christmas Wine Tasting and Sale - November 25th and 26th

      Outside the worlds of wine and family I spend what time I can playing guitar in the village band, and as a good indicator of what season we're heading into we've been working our way through new Christmas songs for our next gig (The Bell on the Common, 17th December, Broughton Gifford since you […]

    Yapp Brothers Autumn Sale 2016

    With the kids back at school, summer tans fading and Quality Street tins starting to re-appear in our supermarkets, it can only mean one thing - Autumn is round the corner. It's not all doom and gloom though - Autumn brings great seasonal dishes, from game to mushrooms to root vegetables. It also brings the […]

    The Yapp Summer Sale 2016

    "There are two seasons in Scotland: June and Winter." Billy Connolly. Whilst we have been enjoying the 'Scottish Summer' at Yapp HQ, we have checked through all the new vintages that landed with us over the past few weeks, made scrupulous notes (all in the name of research), and lined up the wines for our […]

  10. Thrift alert – Game Pie and Bin Ends

    Thrift alert – Game Pie and Bin Ends

    I find that the prospect of another long, wet UK winter is mitigated by the advent of the Game season. Darkness descending at 5pm in October can be endured with the prospect of pheasant ragu, preferably with shaving of English truffles and a glass or two of something from the Southern Rhône.     Accordingly, […]
