Edinburgh Deli : Importers of Artisanal French Cheeses, Food & Wine : Newsletter


	Newsletter » March 2010



	Latest News from Henri’s First of all thank you to everyone who has been supporting us recently – we hope you are pleased with what we are doing and are always happy to receive suggestions for anything we could do or could do better! We had a successful Christmas period and no sooner was that over than we started planning for the year ahead... Michael recently held a successful tasting evening with Rose Murray-Brown MW, chief wine critic for The Scotsman, at the Whisky Society on Queen Street. The theme of the event was charcuterie and wine although of course our cheeses also had a look in as well! One of the most popular matches of the night was our Jambon de Corse (peppered Corsican air-dried ham) with rosé. The new vintage of rosé from the Cave des Vignerons de Pegairolles will be arriving in April so look out for this and try it for yourself! Rose will be using our cheese and wine at more of her tasting events, more information on which can be found at www.rosemurraybrown.com. Another event coming up is a Cheese Tasting with the New Town Cookery School on Queen Street on Wednesday 31st March. We shall be showing a selection of our cheeses and trying to match them with all sorts of drinks (for example have you ever tried a strong blue cheese with an Islay malt?). Hopefully we shall explode some cheese and wine myths by highlighting some new and perhaps unusual combinations. The Spring of course heralds the arrival of new vintages of wine, and over the next few months we shall be receiving new and exclusive wines from France including new vintages from Les Vignerons de Pégairolles and new red wines (a Grenache and a Syrah) from Vella Frontera right down in the south western corner of France in Maury. These are fabulous and we are sure they will be a hit! We have also been appointed the agent for Scotland of Champagne Boizel. We are proud to be representing them both in the shop and in the restaurant trade – this is high quality Champagne with a big following in France which has not been represented here before. Why not pop in to the shop and treat yourself to a bottle?! A forthcoming buying trip to France will also hopefully yield some new goodies (don’t say we don’t try!) and we also have new deliveries direct from the producers of olive oil from Olidoc, chutneys, jams and conserves from Epicurien and more fabulous chocolates and Babas au Rum from Savour Baba. The giftware from Orval Creations proved so popular that we have more of that arriving too. We shall continue to work hard this year to bring you products unavailable anywhere else and have several buying trips planned – do keep coming in to the shop to see what we have in stock! Finally our website continues to grow in popularity and we are sending hampers, gift boxes, wine and cheese all over the UK. If you need to send a present to someone out of Edinburgh (or even in Edinburgh) why not try our efficient delivery service? Go on-line at www.henrisofedinburgh.co.uk or phone the shop on 447 8877. We are also supplying more and more restaurants, including two of Edinburgh’s best Michelin-starred ones, and if you have not been to the shop you may have unwittingly eaten our cheese or tasted our wine on an evening out! We hope to see you in the shop soon or look after you on the web. A bientôt! Simon Lloyd
