Justerini and Brooks

I walked past one of my favourite shop windows in London yesterday. Justerini and Brooks have been trading since 1749 and are of course well known all round the world for their J&B Rare Whisky. Their window is particularly impressive at the moment as it features the smells and tastes of Italian Red wines. Under posters listing the key grape varieties are massive glasses with the contents of the smells and tastes described. Huge glasses with Tobacco, licorice, gunpowder and all manner of products that evoke the true essence of these fantastic grapes. If you are in London it is well worth a trip to St James Street, not only does J&B have a shop front here but a few doors down on the left is the fantastic Berry Brothers and Rudd. I have to confess to buying my en premieur wine from here, its such a treat and their cellars are amazing (book in advance to look around). Enjoy.
