THE CELLARS

We are very fortunate to have excellent cellars at 23 Stonegate. Their perfect humidity, temperature and lack of vibration means that wines stored there mature gracefully and predictably - unlike many older wines bought elsewhere, that may have been stored in unsuitable conditions. 

We store up to 80 different wines at any given time.  Some of these are available in large quantities, while there are only a few bottles of some of the older wines.

The wines are easy to collect. It is a simple matter to drive up Stonegate before 10.30 a.m. any morning, park outside the Medical Society and load the wine into a car. Most members do this on Saturday or Sunday morning, or on their way to work in the morning if they work in town.

We hold regular Tastings for members, and members can invite guests to these, which take place in the YMS rooms at 23 Stonegate above the cellars.

Every Christmas we have a Tasting to show off a large selection of our range, and in the Summer we aim to hold a similar Tasting with any new summer wines that we have found. In addition, we invite an established expert, usually a Master of Wine, in the Spring to come and show a selection of wines to the Club and talk us through them.
