The Dirty Dozen is a trade only wine tasting for on-trade and off-trade professionals and press.
About this Event

The Dirty Dozen has always been about one thing: bringing together a group of like‑minded importers who care deeply about real wine, real people, and real stories. Over the years, our annual tasting has become a fixture for those who want to explore characterful, terroir‑driven wines without the noise.

This year, we’re doing things a little differently.

Four of the core Dirty Dozen members are joining forces to create a new style of event—smaller in scale, but bigger in focus. Think of it as the same Dirty Dozen ethos, distilled: the same mix of producers we truly believe in, and the kind of tasting where you can slow down, talk, discover, and dig a little deeper.

  • The spirit of the collective remains very much alive.
  • The focused approach lets us shine an even brighter light on the growers and wines that continue to inspire us
  • The experience is as engaging, personal, and high‑quality as ever.

Our objective? More conversation, with the same energy and authenticity. We're calling it our 'Bud Break' tasting and you're invited.

Who are the Dirty Dozen?

We are a collective committed to wine of integrity and authenticity. We believe in wines that speak of their terroir. We work with winemakers that cherish their vineyards and the environment. We choose small over large and real before synthetic. We import wines for people that care, made by people that care. We are the spirit of the Dirty Dozen. We are:

  • Clark Foyster Wines
  • FortyFive10°
  • Raymond Reynolds
  • Top Selection

Join us on 11th May. We'd love to meet you there.
