A New Way Into Wine

What is it?

A different approach to wine. An opportunity to have thoughtful conversations and find new connections in an open minded, engaging environment. This session will introduce several ideas from different disciplines that you can use to think with wine and enrich your drinking life.

7pm - 9pm We’ll be trying five wines over the evening. There’ll be snacks!

If you wish to eat something more substantial or would like a glass of wine to warm up, feel free to book a table and arrive early. You are also welcome to stay after the tasting and do the same. 

What will the evening cover?

- We’ll drink wine and ask questions of it, and ourselves.
- We’ll talk about fermentation and flavour and meaning.
- We’ll explore feelings to do with natural and get into what is natural wine?
- We’ll think about vines, place and monoculture.
- You’ll meet wine in an embodied and narrative context.
- You’ll leave with plenty of food for thought and an enlivened connection to wine.

Who is this evening for?

Who will be running it?

Barley Blyton will be guiding your evening. Over the last twenty years she has thought about, drunk, made, written about and studied wine and brings an unusual array of perspectives from the practical, the literary and the anthropological to shape this evening session.
