Hello Community :smiley:

We’re delighted to announce our next virtual wine tasting for your diaries - and it’s a celebration of English wine and summer!

#TWSTaste Virtual Wine Tasting: English wines in 1874, Thursday 7th July, 8-9pm

We’ve chosen a white wine and a sparkling wine from England which are both featured in our new summer 1874 magazine, which we hope you will enjoy for some summer drinking.

The two wines we’ll be trying are:

Looking forward to trying both of these wines - I love Pinot Blanc and a low alcohol version would be good. Also, a very promising vintage of the Rathfinny which is a new ESW for me. Good write-up in Decanter, I believe. Let’s hope the day has some lovely warm, sunny weather to match!

Just ordered these wines - delighted to see a TWS taste again, and one pushing me to try new things.
I’d appreciate advice on how best to chill/whether to open straight from the fridge - particularly on the sparkling as really outside my comfort zone and the wine notes don’t have any advice.

I’ll also be missing this TWS Taste as i’ll be hosting this dinner (which i can’t wait for!).

Obviously very interested to hear your thoughts on the two wines being shown - if you have any specific questions about them then do ask me.

If of interest I did do a vitrual tasting with Rathfinny last week which can be watched on our YouTube channel. This will hopefully answer any Rathfinny questions you might have
