Two Good, 2 Bad for 2013, 2 Hopes and Fears for 2014: Rupert Pritchett, Taurus Wines
Rupert Pritchett of independent wine merchants, Taurus Wines, rounds up our festive series of 2 Good, 2 Bad for 2013 and 2 Hopes and Fears for 2014.
2013
2 Good
1 Taurus Wines winning Small French Merchant of the Year at the Harpers French Wine Summit of course!
2 Opening a concession area in a very busy farm shop near Godalming called Secretts of Milford.
2 Bad
1 The passing away of a family member who helped found the business 12 years ago.
2 Our best Champagne customer's therapist telling him to stop drinking!
2014
2 Hopes
1 To both find some great new wines on an upcoming trip in January with Wines of Argentina and also to come back without gout!
2 For one of our team's MW dissertation to pass, allowing him to complete the course.
2 Fears
1 Another inflation busting duty rise.
2 That customers will continue to expect a level of service that is commercially unrealistic and refuse to pay delivery charges, whilst at the same time wanting discount on the product "because wine club x, y or Z can do it at 50 % off etc".
