This week’s wine o’clock news is more a roundup of some of the spectacular offers available in London at the moment and a bit of shameless promotion for our buddies (in our defence, we will not plug anything we don’t personally rate…)
- 1 Lombard Street, in collaboration with Jazz FM, will soon be showcasing a plethora of world-class jazz musicians. The city restaurant will be running a series of intimate Saturday evening performances throughout September; launching with leading vocalist Anita Wardell on Saturday 4 September and closing on Saturday 2 October with male vocalist Atila entertaining diners with songs from the legendary Johnny Mercer. More details can be found here
- We love Bob Bob Ricard, perhaps partially because we had a little hand in their winelist we can say categorically that it is super-shiny and great. If that is not enough of a reason to send you stampeding their way then their superlative caviar deal absolutely should be. For a limited time Bob Bob is offering a fantastic lunchtime deal – caviar, vodka and pelmeni or vareniki for under £20, we recommend picking a day when you probably don’t need to get back to the office!

- Galvin at Windows are offering a chance to try some fabulous fine wines, from August 16th – 27th, Monday – Thursday, general manager Fred Sirieix will select a bottle of wine from the restaurant’s cellar, which will be opened at 8pm for customers to try on a first come first served basis; for reservations in the bar or restaurant, or to find out the wine of the day call 0207 208 4021.
- And finally: if you have utterly caved to Steve Jobs, like us, and now cannot live without your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch the multitudes of apps are both intoxicating and overwhelming – we will periodically try and give you an insight into the apps we can’t live without: First up – http://www.corkbin.com/ a rather neat application for keeping track of your imbibing. We’ve just downloaded it and will keep you posted, but so far it seems like a simple and handy tool.
