All the wines in the Wines With Attitude portfolio have been tried, tested and specially selected for their quality and taste. They are outstanding wines that offer good value; they are wines of character, wines with something to shout about.
I can't tell you how relieved I was in December to receive my second shipment of First Drop wines, the initial shipment having been mysteriously lost somewhere between Belgium and Barking. That first batch of wines never showed up and I don't expect they will but one good thing that came out of the whole saga was lots of contact with First Drop owners, Matt Gant, originally from Essex, and John Retsas, an Australian of Greek heritage.
Slightly different to most Wines With Attitude producers who grow their own grapes, First Drop buy in grapes from growers in the Adelaide Hills, Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. So I've been quizzing the guys for a blogpost about this approach and about their marketing and quirky labels above which belie these seriously good wines, although First Drop prefer to refer to them as authentic.
Very impressed with your range so far, it’s such an intelligent and well-curated selection of wine that you offer.

Tannins in wine tend to have a bad press but is it justified? This blogpost takes a look at exactly what tannin is and how you can detect it in wine, which wines are the most tannic and which the least and how levels of tannin can be altered during wine-making and during ageing from the effects of oak. I’ll also cover the best foods
