Upcoming Event: St Georges Day Port Tasting

April 05, 2013

Historically, the Port houses declare whether there will be a vintage on St Georges Day, the 23rd April. Join us as we showcase the wines from this spectacular and varied area (not always fortified), and illustrate that port is for life, not just for Christmas. If we’re very lucky, there might be the chance to try some of the 2011s that may be declared the very same day (seriously, we just don’t know). Tickets are £15 a head.

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.
