Wine Tastings

by

In readiness for Decembers TWD Magazine, I have a few goodies open so I may write on their merits. The Highlights of my wine tastings are as follows:

Marc Bredif Vouvray 2009 Chenin Blanc may well be the John Paul Jones of wine. Not the most popular or the most famous, but seriously good! Lovely, fleshy/flowery apples and pears, a nice mineral – flinty streak, lemon zest and a touch of dough. I have always described good Chenin as pillowy and I stand by that. Round and fluffy mouthfeel but the zesty acid kicks it into shape. Great balance and harmony. Entirely too drinkable. Will age surprisingly well; like all good Chenin and John Paul Jones.

Gilles Barges Clos des Martinets St-Joseph 2009 Vibrant crimson, really appealing visually. Crunchy red and purple fruits, spices – cloves, white pepper and an edge of schist.
The palate is fresh but with incredible density and plush fruit. Really lovely, but could do with a bit more time.

Pierre Gaillard St-Joseph 2009 Very tight, closed and compact. Shows lovely dark and red fruits, spice and the palate is clean with a hint of mineral. Shows a lot of potential to improve.

Tasting and Events

Every time you taste a wine, it is an event. I would like to think it can be educational too. I hate stuffy wine events, so whether it’s a casual tasting or a Masterclass over dinner, I promise a fun, interactive and informative occasion… with great wine. Please take a peak below or view all our events here.

Sparkling Wine, Champagne, and Seafood Dinner at Dakota 25th March 

It has been a long time between shared drinks for a lot of us. I have not hosted a dinner since October 2019. I am keen to get out and share great food and great company. How about you?

Let’s not muck around either! Straight to the top shelf. Champagne, Sparkling wine, and three courses (plus canapes). I’m excited to be teaming up with Dakota for the first time, the menu they have prepared is going to elevate these wines to a new level.

Your Own Private or Corporate Event @ Any venue you’re comfortable with. Wine is more than just a thing you drink. You share it with people you care about, and you tell stories about the wines and wine places you’ve been. A well-run wine tasting can be an experience of its own. The love of great wine is a concept that brings people together. Sharing it bonds people. This is an opportunity for you to share a special experience with family, friends, clients, colleagues or anyone you want to share some great wine with. Let’s talk about how to make your event special.
