Mimi Avery

Mimi Avery Tailored experiences, with me. I bring knowledge and insight to audiences of all levels of wine interest.

And she’s back on blue sky - been a bit busy but… After 30 years in the trade, I have decided to set up my own business Mimi Avery (wine services). I am going to concentrate on what I love best and that is sharing my passion for wine with consumers as a speaker and tasting host

Have not spotted you at the Ru Inn this year - ordering book now :-)

Wikipedia says 94 acres…

Nobilo - supposedly there are still 10’s of hectares of it there…

Go Cramele Recas - I was at school with Phillip :-)

Dennis Irwin and Nick Nobilo both made Gewürztraminer over the years that I have loved. And I’ve found a bottle of Pinotage from the 70’s which made me wonder if anyone is making one any more - I wonder how similar/different it would be to a South African?

In both instances the wines were very well received :-)

Two very different events: Wed. eve. was a very proud wine supplier to the #meritorioussailoroftheyeardinner for the #princeofwalesaircraftcarrier twinned with #Bristol at the #Societyofmerchantventurers congratulations #sarayoung. Then an “off the beaten track” tasting for jnr schl parents at #QEH

I’ll wave I am in Theale today :-)

Scary even

She decided you were not too scared then :-)

Merry Christmas @nigelslater.bsky.social thank you thank you thank you…my family ask me for it every year, our tradition (along with 17 ft tree)

I’ve kept them :-)

Oh what a night… #FeltonRoad Dinner at #AverysWineCellars with the lovely #nicolagreening serving - amongst other things - Chardonnay block 2 2018 in Jeroboam! Which made the 2015 Bannockburn seem small - all delicious and matched beautifully with food by #Littlefrench #FreddyBird

#thevintners company song has a line - one isle of Canary’s worth all of Peru

Brandy creams tasted ✔️with the help of the razor sharp palate of @mimiavery.bsky.social (who picked out calvados at ten yards)

Stay safe

A follow on from BJC interview practice :-)

Hello :-)

The joys of working from home

The calm before the storm that is COW (Averys Celebration of wine) and the 1st session in full flow. Thanks to our wonderful suppliers who manned some of the tables - the domaines, ch Cissac, domaine Mourchon, Jeff Carrel, casa silva, l’affinage fromage.

Oops

Boy do they get stuck in the teeth - although delicious!

Ok - so this seems legit… working my way around the room slowly, picking up tips as I go :-) thanks @timatkinmw.bsky.social @jymbudd.bsky.social @fibeckett.bsky.social
