Joel on the BBC

Grape & Grain Tours hit the airwaves this week! I had the pleasure of sharing my top recommendations for Christmas tipples produced in Hampshire and Dorset on BBC Radio Solent's The Kitchen Garden. We held an on-air tasting involving English Sparkling Wine, cider, beer, coffee liqueur and some deliciously fiery ginger drinks.

Could Rebecca and I handle the heat? Listen to the interview here to find out. 

My top locally-produced Christmas tipples.

Those recommendations again:

• The 2014 Classic from Raimes English Sparkling
• Chalkdown Cider
• Red Cat Brewering Kairos Session IPA
• Fallen Acorn Brewing Co. Egg Nog Stout
• Maraba Coffee Liqueur from Gorilla Spirits
• Dorset Ginger

A couple of days earlier, those tuning into Breakfast on BBC Surrey would have heard James Cannon recommend Grape & Grain Tours as a great Christmas gift. James joined us on our Surrey Hills Tour back in November. Hear James discuss our tour and chat with Greyfriars Vineyard owner, Mike Wagstaff, about their wonderful Surrey Hills sparkling wine (starts at 2hrs53mins).
