Monday 16 June Start: 8pm
Upstairs at The Forester, 2 Leighton Road, W13 9EP
End of term is approaching and summer holidays beckon, so it’s time to go a little bit more off piste with what is becoming an annual summer event, a “walkaround” food and wine matching tasting. For those of you unfamiliar with the idea here’s what will happen. You will only be required to “walk around” to serve yourself. Seating will be at tables, as usual, where you will be able to discuss your findings with other members.
We have a selection of 10 or so wines which have been collated from your suggestions and there will be a range of different cold foods and accompaniments: charcuterie, cheeses, dips etc. If you have any food allergies please let us know in advance.
There will be some notes on the wines and guidance on flavour matching but no formal presentation.
This is the opportunity to socialise and discover how your palate works with different combinations of foods and wine flavours. There is no wrong answer.
Below is the list of most of the wines that will be on offer, though David is till tracking down another wine to complete the set. It looks like a great selection. I don’t know about you but I’ve never tasted a Peruvian wine before. And a wine called ‘This is not another lovely Malbec’ sounds very intriguing. I’m looking forward to it.
