The Wines of Spain, Napoleon Cellar Dinner, 8th July 2016
Napoleon Cellar Dinners
Join us at one of our popular Napoleon Cellar Dinners for a memorable evening of fine wine, fine cuisine and fine company. Tucked away beneath our shop in the heart of central London, the cellars were once the largest working cellars in the capital. In 1999 they were converted to create London's most exclusive fine dining venue.
The impressive vaulted Napoleon Cellar (view virtual tour here) was so named after Napoleon III, who plotted his return to France here whilst in exile in England between 1838 and 1848.
Arrive at 6.30pm to a welcoming Champagne aperitif in our historic shop, before descending to the imposing Napoleon Cellar for a sumptuous four-course dinner and a myriad of fabulous wines. Throughout the evening your host and the wine estate’s representative will talk to you about the wines, sharing their knowledge and views, and helping you decide which you like best and why.
4 tickets maximum per customer (subject to availability)

Description
Join Lenka Sedlackova MW for a veritable fiesta of all things Spanish (and, trust us, there is a lot to celebrate when it comes to Spanish wine). Chef Stuart Turner is fascinated by Iberian cooking and his skill in accompanying such diverse wines as, for example, a Gran Reserva Blanco 1994 from Tondonia and an aged Albariño from Pazo de Señoráns, is unmatched. In addition, we shall be comparing two classics from 1981; examining the differing faces of Vega Sicila and we shall (re)acquaint ourselves with the genius of Alvaro Palacios. All in all, a real treat: bueno.
