Due
to the popularity of our last Wine Tasting night, we are please to announce
our forthcoming Wine Event.... The theme of the wine tasting is to stay
very firmly in the Northern Hemisphere and examine the wines of France,
Germany, Spain, Italy and Portugal.
We will not be looking in too much depth at soil types, climate and viticultural
techniques, but more at the style of wines themselves and why perhaps
they don’t necessarily conform to the norm.? The wine makers themselves
are fascinating characters, and in many cases have paved the way for much
needed change within their particular regions. Comparing Germany and Alsace,
look at two brilliant Domaines in Burgundy and tackle traditional Claret.?
Taste some sensational reds from Spain, Italy and Portugal, none of which
are typical of the better- known wines of the countries and indeed are
very hard to find.
In addition to discovering some new wines, there is also some work to
be done in the form of a blind wine or two to taste, wines which will
be connected in some way with those already tasted.? A Magnum of Champagne
goes to the nearest correct answer!
