Grape for the
river
Us fly fishers are rarely boring. Our lives take different
twists and turns. Take wine dealer Pete Goss. Years ago, when he was a
Georgian furniture expert at London auction house Christie’s, he went on a
fishing trip to Austria and met, by random chance, an Austrian winemaker.
Years later, having morphed into the wine department at Christie’s and then
struck out on his own, he is the sole UK importer for that self-same
winery.
Pete trades under the name of Mayfly Wines, and true to his
other passion beyond the grape, he has just launched a special half case
range of wines for the river with labels painted by his father-in-law. We
are going to be giving away a bottle of the Daddy Longlegs champagne each
month for the Feedback Draw.
But if you can’t wait that long, or don’t trust to chance,
the Mayfly Fishing Half Case is available direct from Pete. In short, it is
a selection of six beautiful wines from artisan growers, presented in a
wooden gift case lined with straw, with a hand drawn fly on each label. It
makes a magnificent gift or will wow your guests at any fishing lunch.
