Good Motoring Magazine - December 2008
"Checking on the grape harvest is fun and rewarding, even if, like Valerie Singleton, you only have the one row of vines."
3D Wines' enthusiast, Valerie Singleton, wrote a double-page feature about 3D Wines in the December issue of Good Motoring magazine. Valerie joined other 3D Partners for our Givry 'Toast to St Vincent' weekend.
International Herald Tribune - November 2008
In an article entitled 'Winemaking without the work', Genevieve Roberts wrote about the advantages of renting a row of vines with 3D Wines and included quotes from wine buyer Andrew Bennett and long-standing Partner Sonya Davidson. Sonya has been visiting Domaine de la Chevalerie in the Loire Valley to collect her wine for the last 16 years: "Over the years I've become friends with Pierre Caslot, who owns the vineyard, and his children, Stéphanie and Emmanuel, who are now involved in the business." "This is the next best thing to owning a vineyard," said Andrew. "It gives you a connection to the wine."

Atkin picked three of our wines for his 'Wines of the World: French
Red' supplement. Only 36 wines were selected in total. Tim's tasting
notes:
Fleurie Vieilles Vignes 2006
"Pleasingly vibrant, well-balanced Fleurie, showing classic strawberry and rose petal character."
Givry Premier Cru La Grande Berge 2006
"Youthful yet gentle Pinot Noir with smooth tannins and a sweet core fruit."
Bourgueil Galichets 2006
"Classic Loire Cabernet Franc, with bright, brambly, grassy fruit, balanced tannins and mouthwatering acidity."
