Lymington Gin by Dancing Cows
A welcome visit on a wet and windy January week was to try the latest local gin from Dancing Cows. Richard opened up his brewery early last year on Lower Pennington Lane with the mission to create some artisan beers and spirits with local provenance. The latest release of gin has just arrived after several test batches. 'Lymington Gin' is distilled to 43% with the usual botanicals (juniper, coriander, orris root etc) with an emphasis on bitter orange, sweet almond and East Kent Goldings hops (being a brewer for over 10 years it seemed only natural!)

Spotlight on Rioja
Rioja is probably one of Spain's most well-known wine growing regions, but how much do we know about this famous region? Following a buying trip to Northern Spain I was able to learn more about this unique region. The Rioja wine region is in Northern Spain, and is made up of three areas; Rioja Alavesa, Rioja Baja and Rioja Alta - these regions run along the River Ebro.
