Proprietor Dominic Lockyer will be showing some great wines from Torres including a new organic white wine and a some rather good Priorat and Ribera del Duero. The Wente Riva Ranch Chardonnay would be just as at home with turkey and all the trimmings as it would be with smoked salmon. There is also the chance to try one of the single vineyard Super-Malbecs from Trapiche. Additionally there will be a Single Quinta Vintage Port and a 10 year Malmsey Madeira for the fortified fans!
on 11 December 2010 1pm – 5pm
James is showing mainly Chilean and French wines. There is a new single vineyard Gewurztraminer and an NZ Pinot Gris for those who prefer things a little more aromatic. There will also be a chance to try one of the newly arrived 2008 white Burgundies. The 2006 Pernand Vergelesses is drinking really well now, the Shiraz is spicy and bramble-y, whilst The Blend is a must have for those who prefer their wines on the chunkier side.
