Richard Lane DipWSET hosts the return of our popular "What to drink" series where our educators showcase a flight of drinks that they think you should know about.
Event details
Our "What to drink" series gives WSET School London's expert educators the opportunity to go off the beaten track and present a flight of drinks covering everything and anything – from their favourite bottles and wines they've recently discovered, to dinner party fail-safes, supermarket hacks, or simply drinks they wish more of us knew about.
This next tasting will be hosted by Richard Lane DipWSET, who has been teaching at WSET School London since 2021. He's chosen a cracking selection of drinks from classic left-bank Bordeaux to Antipodean marvels like Clare Valley Riesling.
It isn't all wine either: Richard will be sharing his recipe for a perfect Manhattan and sharing some of his favourite Italian amaro!
Come along to discover your new favourite drink, try something different, and discuss the wonderful hidden corners of the wine world.
Guests will also enjoy a small selection of cheese and snacks selected by Richard to pair with his flight.
