World of wine - Loire Valley & Alsace

World of wine 2 people special... 

The Loire Valley in France produces some of the most delicious Sauvignon Blanc in the world, with a refreshing bite and vitality We will try a selection of wines including Sancerre and some delicious crunchy reds made from Cabernet Franc,

Now try some of the most food-friendly wines on the planet. If you thought Riesling was a sweet, insipid German wine you will be amazed at the deliciously dry and zingy Alsace Rieslings and Pinot Gris (French for Pinot Grigio) that are the perfect accompaniment to a wide range of Thai, Chinese, and Asian Cuisine.    

New Zealand arguably now produces the best Sauvignon Blanc in the world rivaling anything France can make - but which will you prefer? Tried Riesling from Australia? A real surprise and delight. Taste 8 wines all blind, with a sample of food.
