Planet of the Grapes

Following another enjoyable WoW at Cork and Bottle attended by a number of new starters, the news is it's supposed to be getting a bit chillier again from this weekend, perfect for another round on the WoW tour.

I have chosen the fantastically named Planet of the Grapes. I believe this has been an institution in Leadenhall Markets but I have chosen to book at their new location in Bow Lane, right near Mansion House tube station.

Their purchasing policy definitely sounds agreeable "To drink the wine in the bar simply add a flat £10 regardless of the retail price, therefore a bottle of Louis Roederer N.V. Champagne will be £35 retail and £45 to drink in the bar, a simple, transparent and excellent value way to enjoy a fabulous bottle of wine."

Once again, I would love for as many to come along as possible, but need to confirm numbers prior to the day to guarantee a place so please let me know if you're interested in coming. Similarly, friends are always welcome so come along and have a great evening in a new venue and try some new (or old favourite) wines.
