Mother’s Day 2019 – Sunday 31st March
March is very much the month for celebrations, not just Mother’s Day 2019.
The patron saint of Wales, Saint David, is remembered on the 1st of the month with the Irish Saint Patrick’s Day being commemorated on the 17th. Daffodils and shamrocks will no doubt be seen in abundance during their respective celebrations.
Shrove Tuesday falls on the 5th of March when pancakes will be the order of the day. Following the French tradition of flambéing crepes, how about serving yours with cognac or armagnac to light up the evening?!
International Women’s Day is always on the 8th of March – a suitable precursor to Mother’s Day on Sunday 31st March – so March is a great month to celebrate the women in your life. Cognac, often thought of as a man’s drink, is also enjoyed by many of our female customers. Those who prefer a fruitier brandy will certainly be delighted with a bottle of our vintage armagnac. We have every year of birth from 1928 to 2001 so it’s easy to buy an extra special Mother’s Day Gift this year.
