Do you have anxiety over Christmas booze catering already? Sure, aunty Jan is going to turn up with sparkling shiraz, again, but for everyone else, what do you do?
Mr West is battling that problem with its huge tasting event on November 23 from noon until 4pm, where 100 independent craft beers, ciders, minimal-intervention wines and boutique spirits will be open for you to sample and buy through the bottle shop on the day. And even if you're not in charge of the catering, it's a good excuse to stock up for the summer.
