WINE TASTINGS
​​
​
​
Thursday 26th June 7-9pm Chilled Reds £75 ~ Last Few Places
Time for chilled things and red wine is one of them. Different red grape varieties lend themselves to be served chilled. Some are light bodied wines, some even have bubbles.
Join us to celebrate the beginning of summer and learn why "chilled red" is good.
​
​​
Thursday 17th July 7-9pm La Vie En Rose - pink wines are back £50
After last year's success and due to popular demand, here we go again.
​​​
​
Thursday 14th August 7-9pm Favourites Re Taste £50
We are not being sentimental (maybe a bit) but on 14th August and 14 tastings after, some of your (and ours) favourites re emerge. Great chance to taste or re taste some the most popular wines from our "repertoire".
​
Thursday 25th September 7-9pm Greece - The Wine Goddess £75
Full of Gods and Goddesses, as a wine country Greece has plenty of diversity too. Mediterranean wines, continental wines, even wines from high altitude vineyards.
Join us and discover that this wonderful country offers so much more than just Assyrtiko.
​
Thursday 23rd October 7-9pm New World Wines £75
Many of these wines offer great value for money and when it comes to quality, they don't have a lot to envy their old continent counterparts.
Even though some may get inspiration from the old world, they still reflect the place where they come from. New fox new tricks.
