Celebrate World Chardonnay Day with Anjali Douglas DipWSET, who will guide you through eight prestigious and lesser-known examples of the grape.
Event details
Chardonnay is a grape that divides opinion: most of us identify as either a Chardonnay loyalist or a Chardonnay denier. Anjali Douglas DipWSET is firmly in the former tribe, and will be celebrating World Chardonnay Day at WSET School London with a flight of eight fantastic wines.
You'll get the chance to taste Chardonnay from an array of established and emerging regions, get tips on finding great value bottles, compare how this versatile variety is responsible for some of the finest and most exciting wines in the world, explore some practical food pairings. Come along to affirm your love for Chardonnay with fellow fans or challenge your preconceptions! Light snacks will be provided.

About the presenter, Anjali Douglas DipWSET
Anjali worked in hospitality while studying her A-Levels, never intending to make a career out of it. She then started working in education for museums and galleries, producing events and festivals to attract diverse audiences. She caught the wine bug five years ago and returned to hospitality, starting her new career in a wine bar, before moving on to become responsible for training hospitality staff and sommeliers for a wine distributor. Now, she teaches Levels 1-2 at WSET School London. No matter what industry she is in, Anjali’s aim is to open up conventionally elitist institutions, art forms, and beverages, to more.
