The Veneto region of north eastern Italy is home to two of its most iconic wines; Soave and Valpolicella. Our evening will dig deeper into these regions and neighbouring ones that make wines of wonderful quality including whites made from Turbiana in Lugana, and deep ‘chiaretto’ rosés. We will of course sample some Prosecco, but of course – not Prosecco as we know it, Jim!
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.

Galicia is home to Albariño, one of the most ‘up and coming’ grape varieties, producing glorious fresh complex white wines, perfect for seafood. However, this maritime region in North West Spain has a huge variety of other terroirs that follow the rivers that flow down from the high mountains, and we will also taste white wines made from Treixadura, Godello and Torrontes (not that one) and reds made from Mencia.

The Adriatic separates Italy from the Balkans and emerges as the Ionian sea into the Mediterranean near Corfu. Wine growing regions abound along both coastlines and we will be able to contrast cool elegant white wines made from the Verdicchio variety in le Marche with rich whites made from indigenous varieties in Istria and Dalmatia, while Montepulciano d’Abruzzo offers a superb contrast to the robust reds of Puglia, and the incredible Nebbiolo-like Xinomavro grape variety of Northern Greece.

France may not have invented sparkling wine, but it certainly owns most of the ‘top end’ of the market. Or does it?
Our exploration of the world of sparkling wine will allow us to examine whether Champagne and Crémant can rest on their laurels or are being challenged.
And there’s plenty of challengers – Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, the list goes on. Buckle up, it’s going to be a fizzy ride!

Bordeaux has dominated the world of wine for centuries. The famous classification of 1855 merely documented what was already known, that the Médoc peninsula has some of best terroirs in the world, and in the following 100 years it came to epitomise wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. But times change and Bordeaux has increasingly been challenged by new regions with more reliable climates, while becoming a victim of its own success, producing more wine that it can sell. The good news for us is that the Bordelais’ response to these headwinds has been to focus on quality and better value for money, and whether white, rosé, sparkling or red, they are producing wonderful wines at reasonable prices.

Our Christmas Extravaganza is always an unmissable event in the RWS calendar. We take the opportunity to splash out on some top notch wines and explore some superb wines. There is always something a bit unusual, eclectic, rare or expensive. Sometimes all four!
And this year we will be hosting our Christmas tasting at home, in Hampton over three nights.
