Thursday 11 December 2014

Join us as we taste some cracking good Champagne and wine specially selected to match your Christmas Day lunch.

Christmas provides the perfect excuse to indulge yourself and spend a little (or a lot!) more on wine than you would normally do. It is the one time of year when nearly all of us drink wine with lunch but what kind of wine should we choose?

The evening will give you some useful pointers on what wines to look for when you are out shopping, and we guarantee some Christmas cheer with lots of fun, crackers, and silly hats!

We have selected a range of wines, specifically matched to the kind of food most of us eat at Christmas time, and we’ll provide you with nibbles to match so you can discover how different wines bring out the best in your Christmas Fayre!

The choice will include superb Champagne, white wine to partner smoked salmon and roast turkey, a range of red wine from light and fruity Pinot Noir, through to full-bodied Bordeaux blends (Cabernet & Merlot) – all chosen to complement most sauces and stuffings. We will finish with a gorgeous dessert wine, and a taste of vintage port.
