A Winemaker Visits: Stanton & Killeen

Livery St., Birmingham

Tuesday 29th April, 6.30pm

Tickets: £15 a head

We are honoured to be welcoming Rutherglen wine legend Wendy Killeen of multiple award winning winery Stanton & Killeen. Tracing its history back to 1864, Stanton & Killeen have pretty much always been a fortified wine specialist, originally providing local miners with what could only be loosely described as ‘wine’, through the boom & bust of Australian wine making to today, where their Fortified Muscats & Topaques won 12 medals including 5 golds between them at the IWC and Decanter awards last year in London. Wendy will be presenting 8 wines with accompanying cheeses and pudding suggestions to sample.

The Half Bottle – it’s a thing of beauty

March 14, 2023

Years ago, before very clever folk started coming up with all manner of means to keep open bottles of wine (reasonably) fresh, half bottles of wine were a thing. Growers would routinely bottle a modest proportion of their harvest into half bottles and restaurants in particular, would carry them, largely for the benefit of solo diners
