A Wine Tasting with Hannah Crosbie

A Wine Tasting with Hannah Crosbie

We find that books and wine make a great pairing! What a treat it will be to welcome presenter Hannah Crosbie this spring for a talk and wine tasting in celebration of Corker: A Deeply Unserious Wine Book. A guide for both novice and experienced wine connoisseurs, don't be fooled by the austerity of her subject; 'The Nigella of Wine' knows how to have fun with the drink's rich and varied realm.

So much of what we drink and how we drink it is rooted in occasion. What bottle do you buy the first time you meet the in-laws? What do you order on a date that's going well? If it's not going well? What should you drink on a plane? Pairing sage advice with Hannah's signature tongue-in-cheek humour, this is a deeply unserious wine book that celebrates the joy of everyday drinking.

Corker is a guide for wine novices staring nonplussed at supermarket shelf, as well as wine lovers who might already know their Chablis from their Chenin, but still need some inspiration when picking the best bottle for their budget and the occasion.

Join us to sample a delectable array of wine:

Sparkling: Lambrusco Concerto ('for when you don't feel like drinking wine')
White: Alvarinho ('for when you're on a boat')
Red: Beaujolais ('for picnics, but it's cold out')
