WELCOME BACK!

 

Fullaloves  Wines

Welcomes you Back!

We Missed You!

We cannot wait to get back behind the bar and whirling up our glorious tapas dishes albeit outside for the time being.

We have added a cover to combat the inclement weather and a couple of outdoor heaters.

We do have only very limited space outside and whilst we are happy to welcome everybody at any time, we do advise to book in advance especially at weekends. Our normal opening hours will be subject to having bookings on the day.

We are also trying to maintain what has become our pretty popular delivery service should you not be able to get a table.

 

  

So please get in touch…

3 Months In After The Big Move...

...and what a roller coaster it has been!

It was the first week in May that we finally opened our doors in a stunning new venue. Huge thanks go to all the tradesmen who helped put our bar and shop together, our suppliers old and new (yes, that means lots of new stock; our range is now nearly 150 wines strong!) along with the support from friends, family and customers old and new.

So where to begin??

We have a great new kitchen, for those who remembered our past venue and the cramped little corridor that we created such a spread from out of; well we now have a superb upgrade meaning we have also extended our menu, (our famous Gambas Pil Pil still appear amongst new dishes like Boquerones Crostini, Pitta Pizza, Pitta & Dips, Creamy Garlic & Blue Cheese Mushrooms) along with our capacity. We therefore still offer our great wine & tapas evenings whilst also having the having room for you to wine and dine at your leisure.

We have upgraded our by the glass offering, not only do we have a fabulous selection of wines to choose off our menu, but we have also installed (thanks to a successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign) a sparkly new Wine By The Glass machine, which enables us to offer you a taste some of the more exclusive wines in our range and will be updated regularly. As of next week we will be putting a selection of award winning wines, trophy winners from some of the top international wine competitions such as DWWA (Decanter World Wine Awards), IWC (International Wine Challenge) & SWA (Sommelier Wine Awards)

We have staff! Now were in the hub of bustling Longridge and capacity to entertain many more of you, we have been recruiting to make sure our service doesn't falter, and so please meet Joy; our full time manager, her daughter Daisy along with Katie who you will see on Fridays.

What else...

-We have Estrella Galicia Spanish lager on draft
-Midweek lunch specials
-A popular Gin selection
-Look out for Live Music and Open Mic evenings (note to diary; first open mic event 2nd Sunday in September)
-Meet the Winemaker evenings (note to diary; Sergio from El Coto de Imaz, Rioja will be joining us on Thursday 21st September, only 20 tickets will be available, wine tasting with food match)
-Matilda and now her pup Daisy are usually in residence (our adorable Frenchies!)
-Oh and we now have our own bathroom facilities! (visitors to our previous location will know what we mean; especially those who frequented us in the winter!!)









Phew, plenty of reason to come in and say hello over a glass or 2, we'd love to see you again.
Cheers from Andrea, Ben and the team!

New Offers for Autumn as the Nights Draw In

Chooses any 3 of the tapas dishes from our menu along with 2 glasses of house wine for just £20; available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays from 11am until 6pm.

We always have our menu available during the week and there is no need to book, so come and have a browse of our wines, have a coffee, a glass of wine or a bite to eat, take a stroll amongst the other shops on site and through the gardens, stock is always changing especially as the festive season approaches.

If you prefer to be cosied up in front of the fire; we've put together a range of mixed cases of wine to take away at discounted prices and have a taste of Fullaloves at home. We're putting selections of Reds, Whites and Sparkling as well as some country specific cases to try. The pictured mixed case starts £54 for a case of 6 and £102.50 for 12 representing excellent value against the RRP's of more than £65 & £130 respectively. 

Have a look at our online shop for the list of cases and whats included. (If you're lucky enough to be local to us, we will even deliver your case free of charge!)

If your are the very organised sort that plans ahead for the festive season, we have begun to bring in the seasonal favorites for gift ideas; have a look at our newly introduced "Experience"
selection of Churchill's Port. This trio is made up of 20cl bottles including a 10 year old tawny, a dry white Port (superb with tonic) & a fruity young reserve Port. You can pick up a pack for £24.50.

Lastly, to bear in mind the changing clocks on the 25th, you'll be using your lights much earlier, remember that we supply a range of fantastic & authentic vintage style lighting. Here is a recent residential bespoke commission that we supplied. You will find more examples of our work and guide line pricing in the gallery here.

Roses & Rosé - Valentines special, Wine of the Month and 2 New French Whites

Gifts for your Valentine needn't be a difficult task; and we've just made it even easier for you. No need to decide between a bottle of Rosé or a fresh red Rose...make it a treat and get them both! This beautiful Sancerre Rosé with a fresh red Rose only £21.00.

Wine of the Month for this year is a big winter warmer, we have a wonderful Carmenere, Chile's signature grape variety, from the Casablanca Valley. Grant Phelps, the head winemaker at Casas Del Bosque has lead the winery to winning consecutive awards the last 2 years running of Chilean Winemaker of the Year by the IWSC.

A burst of aroma and flavour. Smooth whilst concentrated flavours of plum, black cherries, cocoa with a little sweet vanilla spice & cedarwood from 9 months in French oak, its a satisfying mouthful which lingers for quite some time afterwards. would pair beautifully with Lamb and Mediterranean vegetables.

There is a lot of value to be had with Chile, especially now they have invested heavily in their viticulture & winemaking techniques to ripen their grapes and then produce these fantastic wines. The take away price is just £9.95 from Fullaloves Wines. As always; we'll let you try a sample, buy a glass here or next door in The Glass House.




And finally having been experimenting with a few new tapas dishes such as Garlic Mushrooms, Patatas Bravas, Calamari & Flatbreads, we have added a couple of superb white to accompany them. 

First up a Sauvignon from Sancerre's neighbour in the Loire; Touraine expresses a creamier texture than its counterpart with hints of limes in amongst blackcurrant.

Also; Petit Mouton Muscadet Sevre et Maine sur lie, one of the worlds great seafood wines is the ultimate match for our deep fried Calamari with garlic mayo. The wine is text book Muscadet with lemon, green apple and a hint of salinity that lingers on the finish.

Hope to see you soon to try these fabulous treats!
