Is there a wine region that has more to offer than Italy? Maybe, but it's hard to think which.
With vineyards streching from the slopes of the Alps in the north, to the sun-drenched warmth of Puglia and Sicily in the South, and hundreds of indigenous grape varieties to work with, Italy pretty much has it all.
Over the course of the evening we'll be tasting our way through 8 of the tastiest examples of Italy's best, from all corners of the country.

The grape varieties of Europe have spread across the globe, with some finding a home from home half a world away. This tasting will be exploring if these transplants are an improvement on the original, or if the home team still holds the advantage.
We'll be pitting the likes of New Zealand Sauvignon against classic Loire Sauvignon Blanc. Argentinean Malbec will going head to head with Cahors from the south-west of France, where originally Malbec hails from. Four varieties will be put to the test to see if the Old or the New World comes out on top.

In world wine terms Greece is probably best described as small but mighty. They produce less than a thirtieth of the wine that titans like France do. But with a wine heritage stretching back millennia, and hundreds of indigenous grape varieties you'll not find anywhere else, it's a country that offers some unique and delicious wines.

Definitely one to sign up early for - this always sells out quickly.
A celebration of how the classic British fish & chips is raised up to another level when paired with sparkling wine.
We'll be tasting three world class white sparklers, and three fantastic examples of pink fizz. To add to the fun we'll taste them blind, so our impressions aren't swayed by any 'big names'. After a vote to find the favourite wines of the night we'll be cracking open some bottles of the winners while we tuck in to our fish & chips from the always excellent Dovehouse Fish Bar

While the Midlands has said goodbye to a number of big name breweries the past decade or so has seen an explosion in the number of smaller, quality focussed independent brewers. Ranging from the traditional to the experimental our local breweries offer something for everyone.
This tasting will explore the full range of beers available from our local breweries. As far as what is local? We've settled on the arbitrary (but we think entirely reasonable) measure of breweries that you could cycle to on a warm spring afternoon, enjoy a satisfying pint, and make it home in time for tea.
