The Back Label

The Back Label is a monthly dispatch from the wine team here at 67 Pall Mall, bringing to life the stories behind the bottle. Our intrepid sommeliers, buyers and wider team are fortunate to have a ringside view of the wine world, be that via trips, tastings or the constant stream of winemakers and personalities who pass through each of the Clubs.

Every month, we provide a flavour of this by sharing their many discoveries and conversations in a regular newsletter comprising interviews, insights and opinions. Read a selection of these articles – and sign up to receive the non-members’ edit of the newsletter yourself – below…
