Brewers Lane Richmond TW9 1HH
This month we are challenging ourselves, finding wines that are grown at altitudes over 500m above sea level. With altitude come sunshine and heat (yes, high places really are closer to the sun), but cool nights (heat is lost quickly in the thinner air), perfect for extending growing season and ensuring complex flavours and elegant structure. We will enjoy wines from places as varied as Switzerland, Sicily, Sardinia and Salta (and others not beginning with ‘S’).
Tim Syrad, who has 25 years experience of running wine tastings, runs Richmond and Teddington Wine Societies, which meet monthly. Tim is a fervent advocate that wine is to be enjoyed without snobbery. Whether you are a complete novice or an experienced taster, there will be plenty to learn and enjoy.
