Monday 21st October: David Carter. An eclectic selection of classic wines from classic producers and classic regions.
October’s tasting features an eclectic selection of classic wines from classic producers and classic regions. Currently in the starting blocks representing France are a Blanc de Blancs Champagne from Amyot, a grower in the Côte des Bar and probably, Château Angludet, a Bordeaux from the commune of Margaux. Spain will contribute a taste of Tempranillo in a special Rioja Reserva. It’s been a while since we’ve tasted a California Zinfandel so this is your opportunity to try one, from iconic producer Ridge vineyards. New Zealand’s offering is an award winning Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Of course the legendary Chateau Musar from Lebanon cannot be ignored – regrettably it’s not the superb 1996 bottle which I enjoyed recently but a more recent vintage. What to show from Germany? It might be a Riesling spätlese from the Mosel or a dry Rheingau Riesling aged “sur lie” until ready.
What other wines might be featured? Come along and discover .
There will be more!
Monday 18th November: Christos Ioannou returns. It’s been a while but it’s a pleasure to welcome back this globe trotting wine explorer. Christos will be showing a selection of fine Greek wines.
Monday 9th December: Douglas Harrison rounds off the year in style with Right Bank Bordeaux. Several properties including one with an association with Charlemagne (The Emperor) and a Grand Cru Classé St Émilion. As it’s almost Christmas there will also be a few nibbles provided by Harrison’s Deli. Get your bookings in early to avoid disappointment ….. and so that we can open a second bottle of each wine!
