WINE TASTINGS

Thursday 27th February 7-9pm Georgia and other clay amphora wines £75 LAST PLACES

Once upon a time, 8000 years ago in Georgia is where it all began. They would tip the grapes' juice, stems and skins into a big clay jar the Georgians call kvevri, and then submerge it underground. Now we don't have a time machine, but luckily these guys continue to make wine as they used to 8000 years ago. Please join us. Dry January is over.

Thursday 27th March 7-9pm The Iberian Series Part 1 - "Viva España" £75 LAST FEW PLACES

Always at the podium of the wine producing countries Spain has it all. And it's all good, very good. Red, white, pink, sparkling, fortified you name it. (But hold your horses this session will be dedicated to still wines only) Nevertheless, please join us to revisit some classics and discover new regions.

Thursday 24th April 7-9pm Altitude Wines £75

Argentina is home to some of the highest vineyards in the world. And Malbec loves it there. As altitude increases, temperature decreases. For every 100 meters the temperature drops by around 0.7 degrees. In the month of International Malbec Day let's find out how this grape changes as it climbs those beautiful Andes mountains.

Thursday 29th May 7-9pm The Iberian Series Part 2 - "Portugal e Linda" £75

Portugal is beautiful. And although we associate her with Port and Madeira there is a lot more to discover. From the cool lean wines of the north through the Douro Valley and the vineyards of Serra de Estrela mountains to the wines of the warm Alentejo in the south. Don't miss out the chance to learn (and taste) about this wonderful and generous wine country.
