Really enjoyable evening, great selection of Kent wines hosted by Clive Barlow. It was really interesting to contrast similar wines. For us it was a shame there were no vegan options on the food pairing, but we would definitely book future events.

A lovely evening with the friendly Jonathan in the chair and an excellent introduction to English wines by Clive Barlow MW. Clive's presentation was clear and well illustrated without being over-complicated The wines were of very good quality and well selected to show the wide range of styles available. Jonathan and Clive are very good advocates for the exciting new English wine scene.

Informative and fun. A nice selection of six wine samples arrived well-presented in the post. Would recommend the experience.

I have learned so much about English wines in this session. The format works really well, even for wine novices like me - the samples are generous and arrive well-packaged, and with notes, a couple of days before. Highly recommend!
