67 Pall Mall Sought-After Sommeliers’ 2021 Advent Calendar

67 Pall Mall’s expert sommelier team have assembled a memorable wine advent calendar for counting down the festive season, featuring 24 iconic 75ml bottles of wines.

This very special advent calendar is described as:

“Our sommelier team have united to create an advent calendar perfect for the Christmas countdown. Experience the holiday season in true 67 Pall Mall style with 24 iconic wines chosen by your favourite’s sommeliers, guided by Ronan Sayburn MS. Expect stand out wines to put you in the Christmas spirit.”

“Housed in a carefully designed box replicating the exterior of the Club, Members will open a door a day to reveal miniature glass bottles containing 75ml pours. Each bottle’s label is furnished with a QR code, which once scanned using the camera app on your phone will take you to a video where one of our team Members will guide a tasting of what is in your glass.”

67 Pall Mall advises to order today (November 15) to ensure you receive your wine advent calendar so you can open your first window December 1!

It is also worth noting that the deadline for orders delivered to Europe is Monday 1st November, and for the UK, Monday 15th November to guarantee arrival before the first window is opened.  Perhaps you can ask them to fast-track the order.

Breweries from pole to pole are finding new ways to be creative this year –Colorado’s Beckenridge Brewery has decided to take things one step further to provide a few lucky locals the opportunity to receive their beer by reindeer.

Taking home delivery to the next level this holiday season, the Anheuser-Busch owned brewery is giving 10 Colorado residents the opportunity to receive a mini keg of Christmas Ale right to their front door pulled by Santa’s special helpers. Teaming up with the nearby Moon Deer Ranch, the two soon-to-be iconic companies decided that reindeer could have a huge impact on people’s morale, so what better time than now to put them to work?

The contest, which can be entered by visiting their website: https://www.breckbrew.com/ReinderDeliverySweepstakes

And runs until December 2 with deliveries to the winners in the Denver and Cascade areas taking place on December 5 and December 6, respectively.

In addition to your “reinbeer” delivery—which is at no charge, btw—winners will receive a Christmas Ale t-shirt, Christmas beanie, and a 12-pack of Christmas Ale. You will also receive the bragging rights that come along with having a reindeer pull up to your front door. What better way to end 2020!!
