- Urbina Winery in Rioja: The vines of Bodegas Benito Urbina are situated in Cuzcurrita de Río Tiron, at the northwestern edge of the Rioja Alta, a region renowned for producing exquisite age-worthy reds and this is certainly one of them. Find out more in Corkage Wine Shop and Bar about the individual characteristics and flavours of the wines from the Urbina winery, which began in 1870 and to date four generations have dedicated their lives to the cultivation of their vineyards and the production of quality wine. Today Bodegas Urbina produces 300.000 bottles of Red Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva and 50.000 bottles of White and Rose derived from grapes of their own vineyards. AS they are cultivated using traditional techniques, harvesting by hand and avoiding the use of weed killers and pesticides, they have a beautiful full taste.
The Rioja Alta Wine region is a sub-region of Spain's celebrated Rioja wine region. It occupies the westernmost portion of the region, with the majority of its vineyards lying south of the Ebro River. Rioja Alta is perhaps the most important of the three Rioja sub-regions (the others being Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Baja), both in terms of quality and the quantity of wine produced. The climate is largely similar to that of Rioja Alavesa and, as in Alavesa, the vineyards here are located at higher altitudes than in Rioja Baja, assisting in the accumulation of acidity, color and moderate alcohol levels. (Not so coincidentally, the name Rioja Alta translates to 'high Rioja'.) The soil, although less rich in limestone than in Rioja Alavesa, has a healthy mix of clay, iron and alluvial components, giving it a redder color than its northern neighbor's sandy white soils.
The tempranillo grape thrives in these conditions, producing signature 'Rioja-style' wines. As a result, the local wines form the backbone of most Rioja blends. Other important grape varieties include Graciano and Garnacha grapes. When compared with Rioja Alavesa, these wines tend to be finer, lighter in body and lower in acid. Rioja Alta's wines have a particular affinity with oak barrels and extended aging (including bottle maturation), and a classic Rioja will display an amazing harmony of fruit and oak characters along with a full body.
Rioja has a bit of everything. You can find very classic wines, modern wines, single vineyard wines, etc. Bodegas Urbina position themselves as a traditional Rioja winery. They succeed in making high-quality, traditional Rioja wines. These are not flashy wines in the modern mould, but they are benchmark examples of the typical Rioja style, with real complexity and interest. In the modern Rioja´s the emphasis on ripe, sweet, dense, concentrated wines and in the classic style the emphasis on fragant, silky, delicate. Long ageing in casks and bottle. Ready to drink on release.
- Corkage Fee or Charge Meaning: Fee charged by a restaurant for opening a bottle of wine, commonly for the bottle brought along by the customer and not purchased from the restaurant. Charge customarily levied in a restaurant for each bottle of wine brought in and consumed on the premises rather than bourght from the restaurant´s own selection. The term is derived from the fact that the number of corks pulled represent the number of bottles consumed. There is considerable variation in the amount charged, and the grace with which the practice is accepted. Corkage fee for wine in the UK is generally around £5-£11 per bottle.
The corkage is done for a very wide variety of reasons and the fees reflect this variety. Some restaurants do not serve alcohol but allow their diners to bring in a bottle to go with their meal. These places generally have the lowest corkage fees and some have no fee at all. At the other end of the price spectrum are the restaurants that have wine cellars, sometimes quite good ones, and do not really want to, but will allow a customer to bring in a bottle. These places will tack on a fee that makes it prohibitive for most people to bring an average bottle of their own wine.
The restaurants that allow their clientèle to bring in their own bottles of wine range all along that spectrum, but the general idea is that a corkage fee helps cover their costs to varying degrees. At the very least, the wait staff opens the bottle, the place provides the glasses, and someone has to clear them from the table and wash them. Not to mention that most stemware is expensive, and easily broken at any point from the time it leaves the bar to the time it is returned to storage. Other places want to recover some of the lost revenue incurred by offering diners the courtesy of bringing in their own wine instead of forcing them to buy it there.
- Finding your Style of Wine: There is hundreds of different wines from all over the world. Maybe it is easier to learn first the style of a wine (based on their flavours, texture, and body), rather than its place the origin, for example: from (fruity, lively reds) to (rich, dense reds), and from (light, crips whites) to (full, opulent whites), etc. Having said that, within each style, the wines can be arranged by country. And learn about their regions of origin and vinification methods, all together is what really make wine so exciting. Using these style grouping, at Corkage Wine Shop and Bar, you can be lead on tastings that will broaden our tastes and introduce you to new wines. Find a wine you already know you like at the shop, then explore other wines within the seme style section, enjoying their similarities but also dicovering the nuances of aroma, flavour, and texture that reveal just where and how they were made.
- Light, Crisp Whites: Clean, refreshing flavours are the keystones of this style. These are light, dry, versatile wines, as welcome served on their own as when complimenting light dishes. From France´s Chablis to Italy´s Pinot Grigio and South Africa´s Chenin Blanc, there is wonderful variety in light, crisp white wines. Favourites are a matter of personal taste and may even come down to a memory or mood that a wine conjures up for you. These wines are fresh and tangy, so you may not like them if you have a sweet tooth or prefer your wine to be oaky (like some Chardonnays) or rich (like the heavier reds). They are pale in colour, with shades ranging from lemon to light gold, and can have a green tinge if the wine is of a young vintage. Delicately scented, these wines have aromas of apple, citrus fruits, herbs, and minerals, ans are dry and crisp, with just the right balance of acidity to give the wine a refreshing, but not sharp, taste. A measure of the quality of a light, crisp white its its finish, which should be clean and long.
- Juicy, Aromatic Whites: These are white wines in a more mouthwatering style. Medium-bodied, with citrus, floral, and grassy aromas, ans sweeter fruity flavours, they are nontheless still dry. Bursting with bags of fruit and with distinctic personalities, juicy, aromatic white wines range from the fresh-mown grassiness of Sauvignon Blanc to the deeply perfumed lychee flavours of Muscat. They vary in colour from lemon to pale gold, depending mostly on vinification technique and the grape varieties used to make them, and they have slightly thicker viscosity than light, crisp whites. When you taste them, these wine should remind you of ripe peaches. Deliciously fresh and juicy, with good acidity to blance the fruit, and a long, pleasant finish. Vibrant, with plenty of exotic fruit to make your mouth water, these are exuberant wines with great all-round harmony. Even though you may soon find a particular favourite, is important to keep exploring this style, there is so much to dicover!
- Full, Opulent Whites: This is a voluptuous style, full-bodied, fleshy and long, seductively fragant wines with a wealth of lavours. But they still manage to maintain their poise with good balancing acidity.Whith a firm, full structure, subtle texture, and expressive fruit, these wines appeal to millions of wine drinkers in their classic incarnations. The great white wines of Burgundy and in their "popular" forms, such as New World Chardonnays and Viogniers. They have such a complex texture that you almost "eat" them. Good examples have a clean, fresh finish and do not leave you with a lifeless, buttery mouth once swallowed. Ranging from pale gold to straw yellow, they should include some beautiful deep honey colors. A plasure to bring to your lips. Often well defined and expressive, the bouquet can vary from ripe apple, apricot, and peach to pineapple and mango, with hints of smoke, warm bread, and vanilla. Smooth and intense, yet delicate and dry, these wines are perfect to enjoy with food.
- Rosé: Rosé has not been taken seriously, mass-market wines of past decades have given the style a bad name. However, attitudes are changing and rosé is again finding its niche. And with increased deman has come dramatically improved quality. Most fine rosé wines are not made from special rosé grape varieties, but from red grapes, such as Syrah, Grenache, and Pinot Noir. Even some of the most robust red varieties, such as Nebbiolo and Cabernet Sauvignon, can be made into fresh, strawberry-fruity rosés. Strongly associated with the vine-growing areas around the Mediterranean Sea and more recently, with parts of the New World that boast a similar climate. These are wines to be enjoyed in the spirit of that region, in relaxed gatherings of friends on a summer´s day.
- Fruity, Lively Reds: Perfumed and elegant or bursting with boisterous sweet fruit, the light, vibrant reds in this category will suit any occasion, from a summer buffet to the grandest dinner. Among the greatest and most enjoyable of all wines, fruity, lively reds are easy to drink and flexible. From once-in-a-lifetime aged Burgundy crus to lunchtime and barbacue wines, such as Valpolicella from Italy or raspberry-fruity Tarrango from Australia. The Pinot Noir grape is the mainstay of this style of wine, giving complex but lively, fruity red wines. Other key varieties are Gamay, a vibrant grape, which most famously creates Burgundy´s Beaujolais wines. Lambrusco, Barbera, and Dolcetto, which make some of the most famous Italian reds. Cabernet Franc, a variety planted in Chinon in France´s Loire Valley and throughout the Bordeaux region, as well as in the New World, and South African Pinotage, a relative of Pinot Noir that makes light, juicy, southern-hemisphere reds.
- Ripe, Smooth Reds: The diplomats of the red-wine world, smooth and harmonious, with no sharp edges, but never bland. This category contains truly distinctive and distinguished regional classics. Perhaps the larges and most diverse of all the wine categories, the ripe, smooth reds include everyday drinking wines, such as cherry-ripe Chilean Merlots, through to prestigious classics, such the grands crus classés of St-Émillion, also made from the Merlot grape. Other varieties for special attention are Sangiovese, the key grape in the blend that makes Italian Chianti, and Tempranillo, which Spanish bodegas use in the wines of Rioja and Navarra. While this group includes some ot the most special and expensive wines in the world, there are ripe, smooth reds for any occasion, throughout the year and for any time after midday! They match beautifully with nearly all kinds of food, but don´t let that stop you picking up a glass just for the pure enjoyment of its delicious fruit and silky texture.
- Rich, Dense Reds: Deleve deeper into the multi-layered complexity of dark, intense aromas and flavours that this style can offer, ranging from suavely elegant aristocrats to big, warm, welcoming wines. Big wines with big names, the rich, dense reds are filled with the aromas of forest fruits and feel like liquid velvet on the palate. They are powerful, complex, sophisticated wines, and perfect to enjoy with warming food on winter evenings. The king of grapes for this wine style is Cabernet Sauvignon, the variety of the great Bordeaux Médoc wines and also of some of the best red wines from California and Australia. Syrah (or Shiraz) from the Rhone Valley in France creates elegant, complex wines, not only in the Rone, but notably in Australia and California, too. Nebbiolo, key to the great Italian reds of Barolo and Barbaresco, is another classic, and there are many other rich, intense grape varieties making superb wines. Mourvedre, which makes Bandol and Austrian Mataro, being just one.

- Watts Cemetery Chapel: The Watts Cemetery Chapel or Watts Mortuary Chapel is a chapel and in an Art Nouveau version of Celtic Revival style in the village cemetery of Compton in Surrey. While the overall architectural structure is loosely Romanesque Revival, in the absence of any appropriate Celtic models, the lavish decoration in terracotta relief carving and paintings is Celtic Revival, here seen on an unusually large scale. According to the local council, it is "a unique concoction of art nouveau, Celtic, Romanesque and Egyptian influence with Mary's own original style". Other responses have been less positive. Ian Nairn, in the 1971 Surrey volume of the Buildings of England series, described the interior as; "one of the most soporific rooms in England" and regretted, "the intolerable torpor and weariness of the motifs". It is a Grade I listed building.
- Watts Gallery – Artists' Village: Is an art gallery in the village of Compton, near Guildford in Surrey. It is dedicated to the work of the Victorian-era painter and sculptor George Frederic Watts. Watts moved to "Limnerslease" in Compton in 1891, and with his artist wife, Mary Fraser-Tytler, planned a museum devoted to his work, which opened in April 1904, just before his death. The architect of the Gallery was Christopher Hatton Turnor, an admirer of Edwin Lutyens and C. F. A. Voysey. Inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, the building contains top-lit galleries that allow Watts's work to be displayed under natural light. It is one of only a few galleries in the UK devoted to a single artist, and is often hailed as a national gallery in the heart of a village. The present director is Perdita Hunt and the curator is Dr Nicolas Tromans. Former curators include Wilfrid Blunt, Richard Jefferies and Mark Bills. Watts Gallery is a registered charity under English law.
- Guildford Castle History: After the Battle of Hastings in 1066 William led his army to Canterbury and then sacked towns along the Pilgrims' Way, including Guildford. Later William, or one of his barons, built Guildford Castle. There is no record of it in the Domesday Book so construction probably started after 1086. First to be built at the Castle would have been the motte (a mound) around which was a ditch and a bailey protected by a wooden palisade. The Bailey's boundary would have run along Castle Street, South Hill, what is now Racks Close and parallel with Quarry Street (although slightly to the east). If it followed a typical Norman design the bailey would have been divided with a palisade, into two parts the outer and inner bail. The inner bailey would have encompassed the motte on which a wooden keep would have been built as a look-out post for the soldiers stationed there. Late 11th or early 12th century, a wall made of Bargate stone was built around the top of the motte creating what is known as a shell keep, and then around the 1130s a keep (tower) was added, again made of Bargate stone from nearby Godalming bonded with hard and durable mortar. The keep may have been built over part of the shell keep and its foundations went down to the chalk bedrock. The general form was quadrangular, its exterior dimensions being 47 feet (14 m) by 45.5 feet (13.9 m). The walls are about 10 feet (3.0 m) thick at the base and taper towards the top.
- Newlands Corner (Shere): Is a picnic site and beauty spot on a ridge of the Albury Downs, part of the North Downs. The site reaches 567 feet (173 m) with hill-grazed grass slopes below interspersed with trees on the A25 about 4.5 km (3 mi) east of Guildford in Surrey with car park and on footpaths and cycle paths in all directions. Together with the Silent Pool (2 km (1.2 mi) to the east) it forms part of the privately owned, Duke of Northumberland's, Albury Estate SSSI. Surrey County Council have an Access Agreement with the Albury Estate, signed in 1994 and amended in 2007, which provides for public access to the area under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. Surrey County Council's management responsibilities for the site, mainly relating to access, have been contracted to the Surrey Wildlife Trust. Responsibility for conservation of the site remains with the Albury Estate. There are areas of chalk grassland and woodlands. Visible are some of the greatest prominences of the Western Greensand Ridge and the site lies on the North Downs Way. There are 129 ancient yews with a girth over 3.5m (over approx 500 years old) with some over 6m girth (probably at least 1000 years old) on the northern wooded slope. Some trees are so old the centre is hollow and the whole tree can be walked through.
- Steam Dreams - The Cathedrals Express: The Cathedrals Express was a named passenger express which ran on the Western Region of British Railways. It connected the cathedral cities of Hereford and Worcester to London Paddington. The service was introduced on 16 September 1957 and was operated six days a week until the 12 June 1965. It departed Hereford at 7.45 with the return service leaving Paddington at 16.45. Coaching stock was in the GWR chocolate and cream livery, not the BR standard maroon of this period. The service also stopped at Oxford, another cathedral city, although this was already well-served by other London services. Although a named train, the Cathedrals Express was by no means a fast service throughout. Between Hereford and Worcester it was at most a semi-fast. In later years the number of stops increased. The timetable in summer 1963 was: Hereford (d. 8.00), Ledbury, Colwall, Great Malvern, Malvern Link, Worcester Foregate Street, Worcester Shrub Hill (d. 9.10), Evesham, Moreton-in-Marsh, Oxford, Reading and Paddington (a. 11.55; 12.09 on Saturdays) – returning from Paddington at 17.15 and reaching Hereford at 20.59 (21.18 on Saturdays). There was a restaurant car service east of Worcester. Through carriages from Kidderminster to London and v.v. were also attached/detached at Worcester.
- Hatchlands Park: Hatchlands Park is a red-brick country house with surrounding gardens in East Clandon, Surrey, England, covering 170 hectares (430 acres). It is located near Guildford along the A246 between West Clandon and West Horsley. Hatchlands Park has been a Grade I listed property since 1967. The park initially belonged to the Chertsey Abbey with the park being mentioned in the Domesday Book. In 1544, after the dissolution of the monasteries, it was granted by Henry VIII to Sir Anthony Browne and his wife, Lady Elizabeth Fitzgerald ('The Fair Geraldine' of Henry Howard).The first visual record of the park is shown on a John Seller map of 1693. The park was purchased in 1750 by Admiral Edward Boscawen who landscaped the grounds; for the house he employed the architect Stiff Leadbetter.
Admiral Boscawen's widow, Fanny sold the estate in 1770 to the Sumner family of the East India Company; both father and son made further alterations to the property. The father, William Brightwell Sumner commissioned Benjamin Armitage to make alterations, and his son, George Holme Sumner asked Humphry Repton (1752–1818) to redesign the park and garden. Towards the end of the century, Joseph Bonomi, ARA, was commissioned to alter several rooms and to impose a frontispiece on the west front. In 1888, the Sumner family sold the estate to Stuart, later Stuart Rendel, 1st Baron Rendel. He had extensive changes made to the fabric of the house. Rendel was mainly his own architect but he also employed his nephew by marriage, Halsey Ricardo, and commissioned Reginald Blomfield to build the Music Room. Rendel coloured and gilded Adam's ceilings, embellished the staircase with rococo decorations and switched the main entrance of the house to the east. Rendel also commissioned Gertrude Jekyll to design the gardens which contain a parterre. In 1945 Hatchlands Park was passed to the National Trust by architect Harry Stuart Goodhart-Rendel, grandson of Lord Rendel. The house is open to the public, but closed on certain days of the week. However, the Parkland is now open 363 days a year. There is a café and a shop. There is a cobbled courtyard and in the grounds there is a disused ice house.
- Guildford Cathedral: The Cathedral Church of the Holy Spirit, Guildford is the Anglican cathedral at Guildford, Surrey, England. The Lord Onslow donated the land on which the Cathedral was built with a covenant for this purpose. Designed by Sir Edward Maufe and built between 1936 and 1961, it is the seat of the Diocese of Guildford. Guildford was made a diocese in 1927, covering most of Surrey. Work began nine years later on its cathedral, which was to be a lead centre of worship and community events venue. The diocese chose Sir Edward Maufe as its architect and the foundation stone was laid by Dr Cosmo Gordon Lang, Archbishop of Canterbury in 1936.
Construction was intended to span many years to allow necessary funds to be raised, but building work had to be suspended during the Second World War. In the meantime Guildford's restored Georgian Holy Trinity Church served as pro-cathedral. In 1952 Walter Boulton, who had ministered mostly in India, was made provost (head priest at the pro-cathedral and pastor of the parish), and revitalized the fund-raising for the new cathedral. The building could not be consecrated until 17 May 1961. When it was completed sufficiently for public worship, another cleric was chosen as first dean of the cathedral by the bishop, after consultation with various benefactors and influential clergy within Anglicanism. In the 1950s a "buy a brick" scheme was used to raise funds for construction, to great success. Each brick cost 2s 6d and entitled the buyer to sign their name on the brick. The Queen and Prince Philip both signed bricks, which are on display inside the cathedral.
- Clandon Park: West Clandon is a village in Surrey, England within 4 miles of the M25 and the A3. The nearest village, which has the shared parade of shops is East Clandon next to the railway station and contiguous with West Clandon's clustered development. As such, the village is served by Clandon railway station which runs stopping services via Cobham and Stoke D'Abernon as well as via Epsom to London Waterloo in one direction, and to Guildford in the other. Woking station is about 5 miles away (although there is no direct rail link) and offers many more destinations and a fast service to London. West Clandon appears in Domesday Book undivided as Clanedun held by Hugo (Hugh) from Edward de Salisbury. Its domesday assets were: 2½ hides; 1 church (replaced approximately one century later), 1 mill worth 3s, 2½ ploughs, woodland worth 5 hogs. It rendered £3 per year to its overlords. Main article: Clandon House Clandon House, a Palladian architecture mansion, is in the village, a house, hosting dedicated visit days and weddings, entirely run by The National Trust.
Clandon Park is not part of the National Trust. Clandon Park is a 1000 acre agricultural Estate that is the Seat of the Earls of Onslow and is currently owned and managed by Rupert Charles William Bullard Onslow, 8th Earl of Onslow. George Duncumbe owned it from 1615 until 1642 on its gradual sale to Sir Richard Onslow starting with the large lodge in the park in 1642, and a series of transactions with the Onslow family, begun in 1650, was finally concluded in 1711 by the transference of the manor to Sir Richard Onslow, a mild Roundhead (Parliamentarian). Clandon Park has been continually owned by successive Earls of Onslow as their Seat; as heirs to the lands of the Earl of Surrey, until the late 20th century the Earl was the largest private landowner in the county. Clandon Park continues to remain in the ownership of the Earl of Onslow. The house, Clandon House is owned by National Trust & was largely destroyed by a fire in April 2015.
- Clandon Park House: Is an early 18th-century grade I listed Palladian mansion in West Clandon, near Guildford in Surrey. It stands in the south east corner of Clandon Park, a 220-hectare (540-acre) agricultural parkland estate which has been the seat of the Earls of Onslow for over two centuries. The house and gardens were gifted to the National Trust in 1956, but the rest of the park remains in private ownership. Some of the house's contents have also been acquired by the Trust in lieu of estate duty. Construction of the house, designed by Italian architect Giacomo Leoni, began about 1730, and the interiors were finished by continental sculptors and plasterers in the 1740s.
It replaced an Elizabethan house. The park was landscaped by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown in 1781, and there are two formal gardens on either side of the house. Nearby is a Māori meeting house, one of only three outside New Zealand, that was brought to England in the late 19th century. After being transferred to the National Trust, the house underwent restoration before it was opened to the public, and later became a wedding venue and filming location for period dramas. The house was badly damaged by fire in April 2015, probably caused by an electrical fault in the basement, leaving it "essentially a shell". Thousands of historic artefacts, paintings, and items of furniture were lost in what has been described as a national tragedy. In January 2016, the National Trust announced that some of the principal rooms on the ground floor would be fully restored to the original 18th-century designs, and upper floors will be used for exhibitions and events.
- Stoke Park: Is a large area of Parkland on the edge of the town centre of Guildford, Surrey, England donated to Guildford by the Lord Onslow in 1925 with the express wish that it "remain for all time a lung of the town", Between London Road and Parkway, two of the four arterial roads to the A3(M), Stoke Park is largest park within the town signed area of Guildford. It is also a Green Flag award winning park. The park and its woodland have remained more or less intact since they were laid out in the 18th-century. Then, there was the manor house which owned slightly more land remaining from the manor of Stoke-next-Guildford, complete with walled garden and icehouse. To the west of the park is Guildford College. The other side of the college, away from the park, is St John's Church. To the south of the park is Guildford Community Church, Guildford High School and London Road (Guildford) railway station. Surrounding the park to the south and east is the A3100 road. This meets the A25 road, which runs along the north side of the park, in the northeast corner close to the Guildfordian Bisons RFC pitches. To the north of the A25 road is the Guildford Spectrum with which the park shares its facilities with.
