SUMMARY:Sicilian wine tasting with Santa Tresa and Cortese Wineries - Thursday 30th April 2026
DESCRIPTION:Siblings Stefano and Marina Girelli hail from the very north of Italy but they could both see the potential that existed in the wilds of the island of Sicily. In 2001 they purchased the Santa Tresa winery\, lured by its rich red soils and back to nature wilderness. In 2016 they then purchased Azienda Agricole Cortese based in the hinterland of Ragusa. We have both been fortunate enough to visit these two fabulous wineries and have been passionate champions of the incredible wines that they both produce.  \nNow you have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the ethos that is integral to both properties. Organic\, sustainable and crafted with a respect for the land\, the flora and the fauna. We’ll be joined by their export manager\, the wonderful Val\, who will guide us through the very essence of Sicilian wine.

SUMMARY:Spot the Difference! .... 24th April 2026
DESCRIPTION:Our most popular tastings of 2025\, so we had to bring them back! And\, yes\, they are always different wines from previous Spot the Difference tastings so you can come to as many as you like! \nI often hear the refrain “Well I wouldn’t know the difference between expensive wine and everyday wine.” I’ve never believed this to be true\, I think we all have an inbuilt ability to see quality but I thought maybe it merited a vinous experiment. So this tasting will be a simple comparison between two wines in the same style but at very different price points. The trick to ensuring that this actually feels somewhat scientific is that it will be a blind tasting. \n5 pairs of wines\, each pair tasted side by side with a little background info on both from me but no indication as to which is the pricey one and which is the midweek value*. Ten terrific wines\, one superb evening. \n*My idea of midweek value wines is pretty decent gear at a sensible price and not a bottle of 19 Crimes\, as such it’s going to be all about flavour.

SUMMARY:USA Wines - Old & New - 27th March 2026
DESCRIPTION:It may seem an odd time to do a tasting on wines from the good old US of A\, but the fact that there is a megalomaniac narcissist at the helm of the country shouldn’t tar everyone else.\nMy love for wines from the USA grows every year and there are some really interesting new things happening there right now too. So join us for an evening with some seriously smart wines both old school and new. No politics\, just wine.

SUMMARY:Pisano Family Wines from Uruguay with Niko - Wednesday 4th March 2026
DESCRIPTION:Pisano Family Wines is nestled in Progreso\, 45 minutes uphill from Montevideo\, some 20km from the broadest point of the Rio del Plata estuary before it meets the chill of the South Atlantic. The Pisano family share an Italian and Basque heritage and this family-run estate traces its roots back to 1914\, when Italian immigrant\, Don Césare Secundino Pisano\, moved to Progreso and planted vineyards there. Today\, the fourth generation of Pisano’s\, brothers Daniel\, Eduardo\, and Gustavo\, keep tradition alive.First and foremost\, Pisano is a family winery and each brother brings his own passion: Eduardo manages vineyard care with artisanal precision; Gustavo oversees the cellar and blending; and Daniel\, the family’s charismatic spokesperson\, drives exports to far‑flung places\, even to Antarctica\, bringing Uruguay into the global wine conversation.The Pisano family are fiercely proud of Tannat\, Uruguay’s flagship grape. They balance tradition with experimentation\, selecting clones\, adjusting yields\, and refining techniques to capture both the grape’s depth and the land’s character. We will be tasting 4 of their beautiful wines and serving you some wonderful food.  \nTheir mission? To craft wines that are not merely good\, but distinctly expressive\, shaped by a century‑old Italian‑Basque heritage\, and delivered with unmistakable Uruguayan soul. Eduardo Pisano was named Viticulturalist of the Year 2025 by Tim Atkin MW. \nTo go with the wines\, we will be serving some authentic Uruguayan food – please email us when you book tickets to let us know if you have any dietary requirements including if you are vegetarian or vegan.

SUMMARY:Wines by the fireside in The Sportsman - Thursday 12th Feb 2026

SUMMARY:Port From Every Angle - Tasting Evening - 31st October 2025
DESCRIPTION:As we come towards winter and the dark nights draw in my drinking thoughts turn towards the delights of Port. This is a little unfair though because Port is fabulous at any time of year and there is so much diversity that there is a Port for everyone and every occasion.  \nI’ve been to Porto twice in the last year and it’s a fabulous place where Port wines are the very beating heart of all that goes on. So from dry white Port through to bold Vintage Port via epic Tawny ports it’s a whole lot of flavour and we’re going to cram it all in to one amazing evening.

SUMMARY:The Liberator Wine Tasting with Richard Kelley MW - 22nd October 2025
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 30 years\, Richard has become one of the most respected authorities on South African wine in the UK and beyond. Between 1995 and 2002\, he lived and worked in the Cape\, witnessing the renaissance of the post-apartheid wine industry. Throughout this fruitful period\, he established a healthy rapport with the great and the good of the local wine scene\, affording him access to their distinguished cellars. \nHere are a few words from our plucky protagonist\, Rick\, The Liberator. \nSome say that The Liberator conjures up images of a disguised\, cloaked superhero\, charging around the Winelands rescuing bottles in distress. But I’m no Superman. I’m just plain Rick; a Cape crusader perhaps\, but one where cloaks are exchanged for a rather tatty Harris Tweed jacket and any superhuman powers are substituted by a supposedly blessed palate. \nOn his regular jaunts around the Cape\, he is often confounded by the number of great wines that are resigned to a tragic fate of being blended away or disposed of in bulk. It might be an occasional experimental batch\, or possibly an interesting off-cut from some proud winemaker’s latest premium release. Whatever their provenance\, it’s his mission as The Liberator to procure these precious vinous orphans and consign them to a better home. \nInevitably\, each wine discovered by The Liberator comes with its own story; a tale of its untimely existence. You’ll find that every release has its testimony recounted\, in bottle and on screen\, as a unique and evocative Episode. Each Episode is a one off and production is limited.

SUMMARY:De Bortoli Wines - A taste of Australian Tradition - 17th October 2025
DESCRIPTION:De Bortoli Wines was established in 1928 and is one of the oldest family owned wineries in Australia. The De Bortoli family left Italy for a better life in Australia and the winery is still privately owned by the 3rd generation of the De Bortoli family.  \nThe wine making philosophy is simple\, great wine begins in the vineyard and should reflect the region where the grapes are grown. They believe wine should have varietal detail and be a reflection of site\, season and the people involved. Wine should have ‘a sense of place’. \nThe ever charming and incredibly knowledgeable Greig Wilson will guide us through a selection of quite simply superb wines which showcase Australia’s wine traditions and its joyful modernity.

SUMMARY:Spot the Difference! Again .... 1st August 2025
DESCRIPTION:As the first tasting sold out so quickly we decided to do it again\, but with different wines! \nI often hear the refrain “Well I wouldn’t know the difference between expensive wine and everyday wine.” I’ve never believed this to be true\, I think we all have an inbuilt ability to see quality but I thought maybe it merited a vinous experiment. So this tasting will be a simple comparison between two wines in the same style but at very different price points. The trick to ensuring that this actually feels somewhat scientific is that it will be a blind tasting. \n5 pairs of wines\, each pair tasted side by side with a little background info on both from me but no indication as to which is the pricey one and which is the midweek value*. Ten terrific wines\, one superb evening. \n*My idea of midweek value wines is pretty decent gear at a sensible price and not a bottle of 19 Crimes\, as such it’s going to be all about flavour.
