My Next Events
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 Savoie, 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.
We’re past the Spring Bank Holiday so summer is starting, time for some sparkle. We will explore what differentiates Cava and Crémant, the different quality levels of Prosecco, and why Champagne is being challenged by not only English but Italian winemakers.

Thanks to the efforts of extremely talented and commercially savvy winemakers in Provence, rosé is nowadays considered to be an aspirational wine to make, rather than something you churned out to reduce the concentration of your red wines! However, not all pink is pale, and we will explore a gamut of styles from the most delicate to truly age-worthy food oriented wines.

This tasting could only be led by Fliss – who will strive not to get too technical but will investigate the contrasts between regions half way between pole and equator, whose geography results in some very different styles of wines. Bordeaux, Northern Rhone, Piedmont, Romania, Xinjiang (41), Oregon, Nova Scotia are all at 45°N, and let’s not forgot Chubut in Argentina and Central Otago in New Zealand which share this latitude south of the equator!

It’s getting chilly outside (or maybe just wet) and Christmas is approaching. What better reason to snuggle down with some flavoursome, warming wines and explore that there is more to them than just an alcohol kick at the start or end of the meal. We will take a different approach to our catering this month and explore some typical and alternative food pairings with the classics of fortified: sherry, madeira and port.
