Wine Tasting Events

Upcoming wine tasting events:

Fine Wines of Margaret River and Pemberton: With Auswine Online; We welcome back Brian from our supplier Auswine Online to show a range of boutique wines from Western Australia, above and beyond what we can fit on our shelves. From Pemberton we have the very sought-after Picardy, and from Margaret River we have Evoi, Flametree and Amelia Park. Eight wines will be tried, and hefty discounts will be available afterwards: 15% off a mixed half dozen and 20% off an unmixed six.

Pinot Noir: Red, Pink ... and White; Pinot Noir seems to be one of the hottest grapes right now, and we'll revel in its glory in numerous forms. We'll start with a Blanc de Noirs Champagne, and an unusual white Pinot Noir from Germany. Then we'll focus on reds, at least three Burgundies including one with some bottle age and several belters from other countries.

Portfolio Tasting: Cantine Sociale Sampietrana: Stunning Puglian wines with Stefano Civino, Sampietrana Commercial Director; We are delighted to welcome Stefano Civino from Sampietrana, this brilliant co-operative in San Pietro Vernotico, Puglia. Usually we avoid stocking too many wines from one estate, but due to their quality and value for money we currently stock 4 wines from Sampietrana; the Rosato, Primitivo di Manduria, the Decanter Magazine gold-medal-winning Salice Salentino and our best-selling red, the Brindisi Rosso Riserva "1952". However the portfolio offers plenty more choice - 14 wines are produced though we will limit ourselves to a mere ten so you can get home in one piece! Generously discounted prices will be available on 6-bottle case orders taken on the night for wines not normally on our shelves. As usual fine breads, cheeses cold meats etc will be served.

Formaggi i Vini: Italian Cheese and Wine: With The Deli Downstairs; Our "general" Cheese and Wine Nights with Theo from The Deli Downstairs proved a great success, and we now offer a range of more focussed evenings. There's plenty of cheese to choose from: we'll taste at least eight which may include Burrata, Fontina, Grano Padano, Gorgonzola, Mozzarella, Pecorino, Ricotta... Italian wine will of course feature heavily on the wine list, though we reserve the right to sneak in something from elsewhere if we think the match is worth it!
