Wine Special Offer for September

Our special offer where you can buy 2 x Tolva wines for only £10.00 has been a fantastic success throughout August. 

For the month of September we are offering you an amazing deal on one of the UK's most popular wines.  Our ARA Marlborough 2008 Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand normally retails at £9.39.  However for this month we can offer you it for only £7.99 a bottle, a fantastic saving. 

The purest distillation of Ara’s brand philosophy yet, ARA Marlborough wines have been hand selected from grapes across the vineyard, finely crafted to offer a balance between the renowned Marlborough fruity vivaciousness and the elegance and texture for which Ara is becoming internationally recognised.

 

A bottle from this Award Winning vinyard is a must for your evening in, and as it's a bank holiday we've decided to start this promotion early to make sure you can make the most of your long weekend.

Wine Tastings

Each month we will be hosting a wine tasting either at the shop, or in conjunction with another local business.  We are delighted to announce our first wine tasting in our shop on Thursday 29th July.  Our experts will be on hand between 5pm and 8pm to chat to you about our range as you sample a few of our favourites.  So pop in to pick up your evenings entertainment, and try before you buy.

We will also  have a couple of bottles open each weekend for you to taste so you can find out for yourself why our independent selection are so much better than your average supermaket offering.   

 

This weekend we have a couple of our personal favourites: 

Ancora Pinot Grigio Rose is a dry & fresh Rose from Italy which retails at £6.99.  Perfect chilled on its own or with food.

Sibarita's Selection Pinot Noir from Chile is an award winning red wine, which works well with chocolate, or other sweet nibbles.  At £8.99 its a fantastic price for such a great wine, ideal to enjoy with one of your favourite films.

Silly Bandz!

Watching GMTV this morning I was delighted to see Lorraine Kelly et al talking about one of the products we have just started stocking at Gadget Hub.  Silly Bandz or Rubba Bandz are trend-setting designer bracelets favoured by celebs, including Sarah Jessica Parker, of Sex & The City fame. These are little shaped bracelets that come in a variety of designs and colours, that are worn round the wrist and pop back into their shape when taken off.

Our collectables are considered mainly for children, but clearly in this case they can be collected and worn by people of all ages.  SJP is pictured above sporting a yellow silly bandz with her layered selection of designer bracelets.  The trend is causing a huge stir in America, with some schools even resorting to banning them as the children are so focused on swapping and trading them.

 

So it's nice to know that those of us in Dunblane are ahead of the trends, as we stock a full range of these designs, priced at just £1.99 for a pack of 12.  Pop into the shop to have a look at some of the collection available, including farm animal shapes, body shapes and mystical shapes.  Trend setting starts here!

Wine Available Now!

I am so excited to be able to tell you that Gadget Hub has now officially obtained it's license to sell Alcohol on the premises.  So now as well as your favourite film you can pick up a great bottle of wine to compliment your evenings entertainment. 

Whether a fan of red, white, rose or sparkling we are sure to have something that suits your taste.  Prices start at only £4.99 and all of our wines are sourced from independent vineyards, so you won't find them in the supermarket.

We've also tried to bring you some fantastic scottish related products, including our Champagne Marie Stuart which is named after Mary Queen of Scots (as close as you can get to Scotland in a Champagne in our opinion) and our organic Le Vin de Levin, made by Scotsman, David Levin.

With wines available by the bottle or the case, and free delivery throughout Dunblane,  pop into our shop for a look and a taste of something different.
