25.9.13 Wine Gang Tastings

Three fantastic Christmas wine fairs are to take place in Britain. They are amazing value events run by the Wine Gang, a group of wine journalists/fanatics/experts who are – at the very least - Tom Cannavan (World of Fine Wine Magazine, Decanter Magazine, Wine-Pages.com), Joanna Simon (House & Garden, ex Sunday Times), Anthony Rose (Wine Correspondent for the Independent, Wine Competition Judge-and who was involved in the Gonzalez Byass Palmas range selection), Jane Parkinson (Restaurant and Stylist magazines) and David Williams (The Observer & World of Fine Wine magazine).


The events will take place in November, firstly in Bath at the Guildhall on the 2nd, then in London at Vinopolis on the 9th and then in Edinburgh, at the Assembly Rooms on the 30th. Five members of the Gang will be on hand all day, along with (up to – steady, now!) 600 quality wines to discuss and recommend. There will be Masterclasses too, and wines will be available for purchase at a discount at some great pop-up shops. Tickets cost £20 per person, but followers of this Blog will get tickets at just £12 and get 10% off Masterclass tickets by quoting the code Blog40. For further information look at the following link: http://www.wineganglive.com/  Just in case you’re worried that it will all be table wine, (not that there's anything wrong with that!) Gonzalez Byass will be there, and if I have any influence, there will be even more Sherry! (At least in Edinburgh).
