Wine Tastings September to November 2009 Children are back at school and summer holidays are over so it's time to let you know details of our Autumn wine tastings. You will notice that in addition to our usual evening tutored tastings at the Georgian House Hotel, we are continuing to hold a few more informal (and free!) Saturday morning tastings at the shop in West Street. These are to launch new products or new vintages of old favourites and there will always be special offer prices available on the day. This year we are changing the format of our Christmas Tasting. With so many wines to taste, in previous years many of you have told me that it would be good to have some food to accompany the tasting. Accordingly this year the ticket price (only £10) will include buffet supper and a cheeseboard. To accomodate our caterers more easily this tasting will be held in Haslemere Museum.
The Tastings Sherry & Tapas Tasting tutored by Bruce Perry Wednesday 7th October We are very grateful to the Sherry Institute for their support for this tasting I am delighted to welcome Bruce Perry to show us how good "proper" Sherry can be. Bruce has an encyclopaedic knowledge of Sherry which derives from his Domecq godfather; he is also an excellent communicator and regularly lectures at the Wine & Spirit Education Trust. Bruce will explain Sherry production methods and tutor us through a tasting of all styles from Manzanilla through Palo Cortado to Pedro Ximenez. The tasting will be accompanied by a range of suitable tapas to show us how well Sherry goes with food. Start time: 7.30pm
Alsace Grand Cru 2007s from Domaines Bruno Sorg & Mittnacht Freres with Alsacien Food Wednesday 14th October 2007 has been a magnificent vintage in Alsace for all grape varieties and I have just returned from a quick visit to two of my favourite growers there to taste their fabulous wines. The tasting will aim to exemplify the Alsace Grand Cru system and we will taste wines from the Rosacker, Osterberg, Pfersigberg, Eichberg and Florimont vineyards made from Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer & Muscat grape varieties. We will finish with a Vendange Tardive (late harvest) Pinot Gris. The tasting will be accompanied by suitably Alsacien dishes including onion tart, chicken liver pate, munster cheese & kugelhopf.
