At Searsons there's nothing we enjoy more than finding new, exciting wines for our customers. We try to give our tastings variety with a range of subjects covered across the year.
For Harriet, our resident Master of Wine, it gives her
"the opportunity to share over a decade of learning, keeping it fresh through sharing that knowledge with others"
