"Hix & Buck buck the trend (excuse the pun!) with exciting surprises. Their wines are all the more special, when they support local unknown yet high quality producers from (my favourite) the two traditional wine countries. They have a great range to suit all pockets and their new comer - an exquisite sparkling red - is value at its best. I simply love the experience of the Hix & Buck events, where you receive such a personal touch and a passion to enthuse that never fails. They have reached to many a novice, inspiring and building on the world's love of wine. Thank you guys!” Chichi Umunna, December 2011

‘I was introduced to Hix & Buck wines at the recent Gourmet Evening at The Ambrette Restaurant.

The wines tasted pure and different from supermarket offers demonstrating the natural flavours and subtleties from small estate vineyards.’ Graham Cryer, October 2010

"I first had the pleasure of tasting Hix & Buck wines at the pop up shop during the Streatham Festival.  My friends and I enjoyed each of the tastings and then took advantage of the great value bottles of sparkling.  I've since had two deliveries and my current favourites are the Cuvee Isodora which is perfect for summer drinking as it's fruity without being too sweet and the MCMXXI (1921) Methode Traditionelle for when I fancy and deserve something extra special. My husband loves the reds and will definitely be joining me at the next pop up bar!" Michelle Diederichs, September 2010
