Bridges Centre, Tuesday 19th March at 7.30pm
Forty participants bought tickets for a journey through a range of lesser-known French wines.
Led by Monmouth’s resident wine expert. Tom Innes, we explored exceptional value wines from different regions – all with different characters to savour.
Tom, the well-known local wine merchant and owner of Fingal’s Rock in Monnow Street for over 34 years, is our tutor for the evening. As a previous winner of the Decanter International Wine Challenge award and Wine Merchant of the Year for Wales he has put himself through all the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) exams, to achieve the prestigious Diploma in Wines & Spirits. Tom’s expertise will introduce us to a selection of handmade wines from small family vineyards from around France to delight and amaze us and bring us to understand our pinot noirs from our sauvignon blancs, our Burgundies from our Bordeaux.
There was considerable enthusiasm to repeat the event. Watch this space.
