Introduction to the Rhône, Monday 17th October 2016

This evening is devoted to the wines of the Rhône Valley. The idea of this event is to come away with an understanding of the key wine producing villages in the north and the south. In addition we will learn which grape varieties are used, why and how they taste. We begin by tasting whites then reds from the key northern villages.

Moving southwards, we will taste a classic white and rosé from the south followed by the classic reds. All in all we will taste 12 wines, accompanied by artisan cheese and a delicious small dish courtesy of our Head Chef.
