Tastings
The Oxford Wine Company would be delighted to organise a wine tasting for you or your company during any weekday evening. We have our own custom built tasting tunnel at The Wine Warehouse in Standlake that can accommodate up to 22 people. If you require a larger venue we have access to The Oxford Downs Cricket Club, Abingdon Road, Standlake, OX29 7QH that can accommodate up to 60 people - great value at £100 per night.
We can also come to you and conduct a tasting at your own premises. A 15% discount will apply to any orders received on the night.
Please contact Theo Sloot for details on 01865 301144 or theo@oxfordwine.co.uk
You are also welcome to visit The Wine Warehouse at any time where you can taste a wide variety of wines kept fresh for you by our special Verre de Vin Barclay Bar storage system.
You may like to visit our Events page for details of our regular scheduled tastings. We look forward to seeing you at Standlake.
Fine Wine Services from Theo Sloot
Although my main job is to source and sell Fine Wine for The Oxford Wine Company, there are a number of services that I also provide. These include:
- Keeping customers up to date with wines that are new to our list. Fine Wines are regularly being added and I am happy to keep you informed of what is coming in. Just email me at the address or telephone number below.
- Sourcing individual wines for customers. I am regularly asked to find wines for customers who need a particular wine. Let me know your needs and I will source the wine for you at a competitive price.
- Conducting tastings that are informal yet informative.
- Buying, broking and valuing. If you have any wines that you want to sell or have valued, then please contact me.
- Advice on storage, optimum drinking times, glassware and general wine related matters.
Please feel to call me on 01865 301144 or email theo@oxfordwine.co.uk
