Nantwich Food and Drink Festival 2010

The Shop had their busiest weekend of the year so far during the Nantwich Food and Drink Festival (24th, 25th, 26th Sept 2010).

Hundreds of people crowded through the door to listen to the knowledge of our specialist spirit suppliers and taste their exclusive drinks.  The warming Xante Pear Cognac; brand new to the UK ginger liqueur; ladies favourite Amaretto, cherry brandy , Cariel Vanilla Vodka and authentic Limoncello sold out early - quickly followed by award winning rums ( Venezuelan), vintage gin Blackwood's, Pama Pomegranate liqueur, Zuidam Gin, espresso Coffee Liqueur and Askaig Islay malt whisky!

Luckily, orders were taken for new stocks arriving this week!

RDW's exclusive chocolate samples, hand crafted by our local chocolatier, didn't stay on the plates for very long, whilst the Eleonas Estate Olive Oil received compliments from a Greek lady who originated from the same village, and whose father also has olive groves - praise indeed!

The local Woodlands Brewery bottled beers are sold exclusively through RDW so also proved popular and, by the Sunday afternoon, we hardly had any Chilean wine left in the shop - so popular were the tastings (and the reduced prices!).

Nick's Champagne master classes at 'Residence' were fully booked also.

All in all, a very successful (if tiring!) weekend - it was great to see crowded streets in the sunshine and Rodney Densem Wines would like to thank all the organisers and volunteers who did so much for Nantwich this weekend...

Here's to 2011!

The shop was jam packed all weekend!

The girls in the shop kept smiling through the rush!

"Call My Quaff" Quiz Night on Friday evening...

...it was another 'full house' in the shop when Nick hosted a fun "Call My Quaff" Quiz night.
