For The Love Of Wine

11 Minutes Rosé 2024, Majestic (£16)

Rosé has officially shed its summer-only label, and the coolest wine lovers are popping the pink year-round.

While Southern France once owned the category, Pasqua’s premium rosés are rewriting the rules. 11 Minutes – while Italian rosés have historically leaned toward more structured and full-bodied expressions, often due to longer skin maceration times, 11 Minutes introduced a lighter, more refined style that was relatively unknown in Italy at the time, using just 11 minutes of skin contact.

The result is a complex rosé with floral aromas, an elegant palate of berries, and subtle spice. Sounds like a winner to us!

By 11 Minutes – Building on the innovation of 11 Minutes, this organic, premium rosé has been hailed by WineNews as “the best rosé in the world.” A sophisticated, oak-kissed rosé crafted from Corvina, Trebbiano, and Carménère, its elegance and gastronomic versatility shine whether enjoyed solo or paired with lightly grilled seafood.

Bobux Soft Sole Shoes (£27)

Babies’ feet are so pliable that even tight-fitting socks can stifle their development – let alone restrictive shoes. Bobux Soft Sole shoes are made from artisanal leather that moves like a second skin on baby’s delicate feet.

With that natural flexibility, babies’ feet are free to bend and move like they would barefoot, and their legs are free to kick without any added weight on their feet.

To put it simply, wearing a Bobux Soft Sole provides the freedom required for a little foot to do all the things it should through this stage of development, while providing protection from the environment.
