A look back at November 2020

November we was put back into lockdown due to the fight of Covid-19 so community events had to take a back burner again as restaurants and entertainment venues closed. So this month I focussed on promoting for a variety of businesses from frozen ready made meals which can be enjoyed at home through entertainment companies who stream online LIVE events. All opportunities I was kindly gifted on a courtesy experience to try in the safety of my own home.

Aloha 65

Aloha 65 produce a Caribbean style spirit 27% ABV which is a complex infused spirit that is beautifully, naturally and carefully made using six fresh, raw ingredients of fresh pineapple, lemon, ginger, scotch bonnet chilli, herbs and spices.

This month they have a limited edition festive bottle in time for Christmas with a range of festive cocktail recipes to enjoy.

“So if you are looking for a slightly different tipple this Christmas with a real kick then I highly recommend Aloha 65.”

Domaine Du Grand Mayne

Domaine du Grand Mayne red wine comes from a vineyard which produce artisan winery and has over 120,000 vines covering 34 hectares (84 acres) and producing an average of around 200,000 bottles a year. The vineyard is grown on soil that is 80 percent clay and sand, and 20 percent limestone. These soils are ideally suited to the production of top quality wines, and provide a variety of different styles of fruit each year which they then blend to make the perfect wine from that vintage. Because the substructure of the vineyard is clay, the soil retains water deep in the ground to feed the roots. This means that the vines do not suffer from a lack of water once they are established. Their deep root growth also improves the physiological maturity of the vines and the grapes.

They produce a variety of quality wines from Sauvignon, Rose and Merlot.

Grand Mayne

“The Merlot wine from Grand Mayne did not disappoint. Their Merlot was everything that I would want from a Merlot as it was smooth, rich, spicy and fruity a joy.”
