Caspar Bowes regularly takes video notes of the wines he has tasted, when tasting a maturing wine we have sold in the past, when selecting wines for Bowes Wine offers and when checking the development of wines in his own cellar. Sometimes, he simply opens a bottle which is so amazing he HAS to record a tasting note.
All wines are listed under region headings in vintage order. Click on the region in the list below to be taken directly to that region.All the videos are also posted on the Bowes Wine YouTube channel if you prefer to browse them there.
