Celebrate English Wine Week with Anjali Douglas DipWSET, who will guide you through a tasting of eight blind wines – four French classics and four made in England. Can you tell your Crouch Valley from your Cote d’Or?
Event details
It’s a regular feature in both the wine press and national press – the UK is making wines that rival some of the best in the world. The reputation for English sparkling wine is now well documented, and there is increasing excitement around the still stuff too.
At this tasting, you’ll taste a range of four English and four French wines, all shown blind. Your job will be to guess which is which! Whether you’re still a sceptic or a passionate advocate for UK wine, you’ll be sure to taste some incredible examples at this tasting in celebration of English Wine Week.
A selection of English and French cheeses from Borough Market included.
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 1-3 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.
