WE’RE IN THIS MONTH’S SCARBOROUGH SPY!

We’re absolutely delighted to feature in the September edition of The Scarborough Spy!

The article tells the story of how Dina and Jim fell in love with Scarborough, decided to make the move from Germany, and turned their shared passions for wine and pinball into Jam Jar.

It’s a lovely piece that also talks about our wine selection, monthly specials, wine tastings, pinball tournaments, private events and what makes Jam Jar a little different.

And there’s another reason we’re particularly pleased to see it… Jam Jar is also a distributor of The Scarborough Spy, so you can pick up your copy from us when you visit!

We’re also proud to advertise in the magazine and support this great local publication, which does such a fantastic job of showcasing what’s happening around Scarborough.
