Introduction to Rhone, Tuesday 24th November

The two ends of the Rhône Valley are, in vinous terms, dissimilar siblings: one lyrical, generally focused on a single varietal and seemingly taking a stylistic lead from the neighbouring Burgundian vineyards; the other broad, expansive and generous, glorying in a varied palette of grape varieties and a distinctly Mediterranean warmth. Join your host to explore the great wines of this region in what promises to be a fascinating and pleasurable exercise. The evening will be made all the more appealing by the selection of growers.
