About this Event
From an amateur affair made by retirees to a multi-million-pound industry with quality to rival Champagne, the rise of English wine has been one of the more unexpected wine stories of the past 30 years. In this illuminating and accessible account, award-winning drinks writer Henry Jeffreys takes you behind the scenes of the English wine revolution. It's a story about changing climate and technology but most of all it's about men and women with vision, determination and more than a little bloody-mindedness. From secretive billionaires to the single mother farming a couple of hectares in Kent, these are the people making wine in a cold climate.
At this tasting, we will discuss the stories and histories told in the book while tasting the from Great Britain!
Included with your ticket:
- Seated wine class with Neighborhood Restaurant Group Wine Director, Erin Dudley
- Tasting of six wines featured in Vines in a Cold Climate
- Small serving of artisanal cheese to accompany your tasting
- Discounts on bottle purchases of all wines tasted
** While we absolutely recommend reading this fantastic book, this tasting will not require the reading beforehand. These stories will be summarized with the tastings **
