Fine Wine & A Christmas Vegetable Feast, Monday 26th November 2012

This evening is a bow to the vegetable in all its glorious guises. We are thrilled to be doing vegetable menus that specialise in delicious, creative and satisfying dishes using wonderful ingredients. Stewart Turner loves a chance to be innovative and has created superlative gustatory results in previous events (according to your feedback). This time we thought it would be fun to design a Christmas Feast extravaganza, which encompasses a diversity of textures and flavours with nuts and pulses too, and a line-up of absolutely sensational wines. Just look what Nicola Giacomelli, your host has chosen! It is certainly an eclectic line-up including a superb 2008 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru from Domaine Jean-Noel Gagnard and magnificent 2007 Vieux Ch. Certan from Pomerol. Whether you regularly enjoy vegetarian dishes, or wish to try something fun, different, but just as delicious as meat, then we do hope you will join us.
