A cheeky Sauvignon Blanc (Gooseberries), graced my palette last night from the 100 plus bottles in the cellar (but dropping rapidly).
I got 8 cases of mixed Chateau bottles through a loyalty scheme which cost about £1 per bottle. I've been working through them. Who is "Majestic"? I like the idea of online purchases.

I'm afraid you might be dissappointed Michael B, they deliver from their nearest shop and I suspect you Manxes are permantly caught by the delivery small print...
Alternative would be virgin wines - we tried them a couple of times - headline prices are a bit higher but they seemed to have a discount scheme almost as a matter of course.

You know it makes sense.

Not only exiled from SCGB but also from many other services taken for granted by all you "mainlanders" (that's a dirty word over here as the locals think this is the mainland and England the adjacent Island) 
Laithwaites are the suppliers for most of the other clubs etc and I'm already with them.

A fair old few bottles of Fleurie consumed last night in the fine company of some friends.
Laithwaites is the same organisation as the Sunday Times Wince Club, who're responsible for 50 odd bottles kicking around my place.
Anyone been to Vinopolis?

Vinopolis is a great way to start an evening in London - particularly if meeting up for drinks after not seeing people for a long time! Tell people you're having a cultural day at London's museums - then go to a wine museum and get p*****!
Buy the extra tasting tokens (I think you get 5 in the ticket price - but definitely get more!) I think its on Friday/Saturdays when they have premium tables - and you can try some v. expensive ones...
Fantastic start to the night, its all a bit of a blur afterwards...

I'm in London most of next week at Confex (Earls Court). Vinopolis is a great idea for an evening. I've been meaning to go there for ages.
Anyone else going to Confex?

Well said Mountain Mad - most definately get extra tickets! Have you eaten there? The food is excellent and you can select one of your favs from the tasting.
