Your August dose of seasonal picks - what to drink, what to cook with and where to eat. Welcome to the first edition of Sociovino's monthly picks, aptly themed 'New Beginnings', celebrating all things mid-summer, from wines that guarantee new discoveries to a linguine recipe capturing the big flavour of produce freshly in season.

Meet our friends creating magic in all corners of culture, and pick up some tips from their favourite wines to their top restaurants. The first glass of our '5 minutes with...' series introduces Enzo Russomanno, Head Sommelier at London's Luca Restaurant. From his recent food & drink experiences to why he started working in wine in the first place.

We sat down with Cantina Terlano's Klaus Gasser to discover what makes Alto-Adige wines so unique - and how Cantina Terlano continue to produce some of the best Italian white wines in the world (alongside some delicious travel tips for exploring one of Italy's most beautiful regions).

Seasonal eating is on the rise after a year locked down, with little else to acknowledge than the beauty of small changes in our surroundings. Here's our guide to what it means to sip with the seasons, how to do it, and why we know it will change the way you think about and enjoy wine and food.

We're big believers in the phrase "size isn't everything". But what does it mean to be a small producer in the world of wine and spirits? It's the key to how we deliver big flavours to your doorstep, so we've unpacked what we mean when we say "small producers, big flavours" - and why we've built a business on that philosophy.

We're on a mission to celebrate the fun that's to be had in discovering new wines and spirits. Clem sat down with the talent behind our illustrations that help bring that mission to life. Meet Louise Sheeran, the artist bringing food and wine businesses to life, from Sociovino to Borough Market.
