Tastings & Courses in Collaboration with
South London Wine School
World of Wine -
Sparkling and Fortified
Tuesday 23rd April ‘24 - 7pm
Event Description
For many people, the fizz at the start of the meal and the dessert wine at the end are the most enjoyable drinks of the evening, so we thought - let’s have a whole tasting devoted to them!
These are wines where the craft of the wine maker is paramount: those bubbles and brioche flavours in a sparkling wine or the rich dried fruit and orange peel flavours in a sweet wine are not just the result of natural processes; they require a huge amount of effort and patience on the part of the wine maker. We will try different Champagne look-a-likes from the New World, alongside a glass of the real thing! We will also taste a selection of sweet wines and learn about the five key ways of creating that sweeter style. It is sure to be a fascinating and delicious evening!
Part 1: Sparkling wines
Champagne is one of the most iconic wines in the world - tonight we will learn about the historical method which gives us this beautiful bubbly. We will touch on the input of figures such as Dom Perignon and Veuve Clicquot, whose Champagnes are now so familiar to us. We will also discuss the technical terms behind the labels such as 'NV', 'Brut' and 'Blanc de Blanc': what do these actually tell us about the drink inside the bottle? But the world of sparkling wine is far more diverse than Champagne alone; we will examine other wines, made in the image of Champagne, and ask 'are they as good?' and 'are the really so different from the real thing?'. We will also talk about the rise of Prosecco; this sparkling Italian wine is made in a very different way to Champagne but its popularity has exploded in recent years - why is it so popular? Plenty to learn about, taste and discuss in this line-up!
Part 2: Sweet and fortified wines
The British have a proud history of enjoying a glass of Port or Sauternes after a good meal, but this is a category of wine which has been increasingly overlooked in recent times. Sweet wines can be seen as out of touch or old fashioned, not helped by labels which are hard to read for today's consumers. We’ll re-introduce you to sweet wines in a big way! From Rutherglen Muscat to Beerenauslese Riesling to Tokaji, this is a varied and exciting new world of wine! We will show you the key methods for producing dessert wines, allow you to taste examples of each including a full-bodied Port and cap it all off with the ultra-sweet Sherry, Pedro Ximenez, tasted then poured over vanilla ice-cream…delicious!
All tastings include; minimum of 6 wines, use of professional tastings glasses and nibbles.
3 Week - Introduction to Wine Course
Run over 3 consecutive Tuesdays, this is designed for people who enjoy wine and want to learn more about it, in a fun, friendly and relaxed setting with no previous wine tasting experience necessary!
Course Breakdown:
Tuesday 7th May - Week 1 – Introduction to Wine Tasting
This first session will cover the basics: how wine is made and where in the world it comes from, how to taste wine and assess it like a true professional, tasting 6 of the most important wines in the world and improving your senses with our ‘Nez du Vin’ aroma kit.
Tuesday 14th May - Week 2 – Weird and Wonderful White wines of the world
This evening we’ll move on to talk about white wines and taste at least 6 delicious examples along the way - but with examples you may not have come across before! We’ll talk a bit about the grape varieties and what they taste like as well as the wine regions that they come from, consider their potential for food and wine matching and further hone your wine tasting skills. We'll also cover things like use of oak, find out which is better - cork or screw cap, and bust a few wine myths too.
Tuesday 21th May - Week 3 – Red wines of the world
Here we’ll explore the huge variety of red wine styles to be found. From light and fruity Pinot Noir to the smoky, spicy Rioja; the elegant Cabernet Sauvignon to the behemoth that is Australian Shiraz! As well as trying at least 5 more fantastic wines, we’ll also talk about tannin and why some wines get better with age, as well as some other useful tips like why/when you should decant wine and what temperature to serve it at.
Fifty Shades of Rosé
Thursday 16th May ‘24 - 7pm
Event Description
Provence has dominated the rosé scene for many years now but do they still deserve to wear the pink crown? Join us to explore the different styles and shades of rosé to learn where and how they are made and what to pair them with.
Rosé is a much bigger and more diverse category than Provence would allow us to believe. Sicily, Spain and Italy are amongst the countries that all produce their own style of rosé which have, until now, been bannished to hide in the shadow of their French neighbour. We believe it is time for them to emerge in all their pink glory and allow us to understand a little more about this complex and sometime underated category
All tastings include: minimum of 6 wines, tasting sheet, use of professional tasting glasses and delicious nibbles to go with
Chardonnay - The Queen of White Grapes
Thursday 23rd May 2024 - 7pm
Lovers of fine wine, mark your calendars! International Chardonnay Day is today, and South London Wine School is thrilled to present an unforgettable evening celebrating this extraordinary grape variety.
Why Chardonnay?
Chardonnay is often referred to as the "queen of white grapes" or the "winemaker's grape" as it offers a wide array of flavors and styles. From buttery and oaky to zesty and refreshing, Chardonnay has something for everyone.
We have carefully curated Chardonnay-based wines from different regions and styles. Together we will taste the finest expressions of this grape, including classic Burgundies, elegant Californian Chardonnays and delicious sparkling wines. You'll learn about its history, production methods, and the unique characteristics that set Chardonnay apart.
Accompanying this tasting of a minimum of 6 wines will be a selection of nibbles
