Winter Warmers - Red Wine Tasting at Reading Biscuit Factory

The colder months are a great time to try a more rich, robust style of red wine that warms the heart & soul!  A great way to while away an evening.

Not only do these wines pair well with the time of year, but they go beautifully with the change in seasonal foods.  Winter foods dominate and  our meals take on a more earthy spicy character with game, mushrooms, slow roasted Pork, pumpkin & squash all taking centre stage.  These more robust flavours need a punchier style of wine and, if you know where to look, there is a wine for everyone.

For this tasting, were focusing on the reds; wines we have looked at before have included: the spicy blends from the Southern Cotes-du-Rhone are a joy at this time of year, along with high altitude Malbecs from Argentina and earthy Pinot Noirs from Oregon. Not to mention barrel-aged, smoky wines from Spain & the inky black, velvety wines from Cabernet Sauvignon.

Your wine tasting will include: tasting samples of six carefully selected wines, light nibbles paired with each wine, full wine notes & handouts, 2 hour interactive presentation with Q&A
