We specialise in supplying wines from a small number of winegrowing countries and regions [...]]]> An established and specialist independent online wine merchant who is brave enough to try something a little different (e.g. Austria & Switzerland, Israel) and an old favourite (Beaujolais Nouveau) where he is probably the leading independent for all Beaujolais Wines.

We specialise in supplying wines from a small number of winegrowing countries and regions in the world; our particular specialities are Austria, Switzerland, and the the French region of Beaujolais – but we offer quite a lot more besides these. One of our particular highlights is our outstanding range of Austrian Dessert Wines – undoubtedly the best in the UK. We specialise mainly in wines from smaller family producers – who generally make wines of character and individuality – but we also deal with the occasional co-operative or larger firm where we feel the quality and range are good.

Field & Fawcett offer a range of wine and deli choices on the outstkirts of York – just off the A64. The website unfortunately does not offer online ordering, nor is it up-to-date and images are missing, although they offer a 28 page wine list of wines from both New and Old Worlds. However, the basis on which wines are chosen is also missing – bit hopefully more information will be forthcoming.

Innovative independent wine merchant Nick Dobson has tracked down some new wines from Switzerland – not a country which gets much attention from wine merchants or press.

The best Geneva wines come from a district known as the Mandement – the the area just north-west of the city, around the villages of Satigny and Chouilly. These new arrivals are from Domaine des Abeilles d’Or in Chouilly, where René Desbaillets turns out some superb wines, including his legendary red, Douce Noire, as well as some great value Chasselas.  We also have new wines from Roger Burgdorfer and Didier Cornut over at Satigny, including a great value Gamay, and the prizewinning Pont des Soupirs white (a top-drawer Viognier), the Pont des Soupirs red (a superb Bordeaux-style blend) and their Zinfandel and Syrah varietals.

Certainly my impression has always been that the Swiss produce mainly white wines and light reds, so it will be intersting to see what Syrah and Zinfandel from Switzerland are like. I admire Nick Dobson for going beyond the stereotypes and offering us something a little different – challenging assumptions like mine and doing something which the big chains and supermarkets would not dare!
