WINE TASTING EVENINGS
Each event offers a chance to taste remarkable wines in the company of the people who know them best. Expect lively conversation, generous pours, delicious food, and a few surprises along the way - all in the relaxed, welcoming surroundings of our NYWines Bar.
Greek Tasting evening with Kir-Yianni & Domaine Sigalas - Thursday 4th June - 7.30pm
SOLD OUT
Join us for a special wine evening celebrating two of Greece’s most influential and forward-thinking producers: Kir-Yianni and Domaine Sigalas. Hosted by Lambros Papadimitriou – General Manager at both Kir – Yianni & Domaine Sigalas wineries.
Founded by visionary winemaker Yiannis Boutaris, Kir-Yianni has played a defining role in the modern revival of Greek wine. Now led by Stellios Boutaris, the estate continues to champion indigenous varieties—particularly Xinomavro—while pushing boundaries with sustainable, site-driven viticulture across the high-altitude vineyards of Naoussa and Amyndeon. Their wines range from elegant, structured reds to vibrant whites and sparkling expressions, all showcasing the remarkable versatility of Greece’s native grapes.
Alongside them, Domaine Sigalas stands as one of Santorini’s benchmark estates. Established by Paris Sigalas and now under the stewardship of Kir-Yianni, the domaine is renowned for producing some of Greece’s finest expressions of Assyrtiko. Grown in ancient, volcanic soils and shaped by the island’s harsh winds, these wines are celebrated for their purity, minerality, and precision, embodying the unique terroir of Santorini.
Throughout the evening, you’ll explore a selection of wines from both estates, paired with charcuterie and cheeses, designed to complement the wines’ distinctive styles.
An unmissable opportunity to discover the depth, character, and innovation of contemporary Greek winemaking.
Tasting Evening with Jules Taylor, Marlborough, New Zealand - Wednesday 10th June - 7.30pm
£35.00
Join us for a memorable evening with award-winning New Zealand winemaker Jules Taylor.
Born in Marlborough in the same year the region’s first vines were planted, Jules has spent her career helping shape the story of modern New Zealand wine. After several vintages in Italy and years producing some of Marlborough’s best-known wines, she launched Jules Taylor Wines in 2001 — now one of the region’s most respected independent producers.
Jules believes wine should be about enjoyment, good food and good company, and her wines reflect exactly that approach.
During the tasting, Jules will guide us through a range of wines showcasing the breadth of Marlborough today. Alongside her signature Sauvignon Blanc, we’ll taste Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Grüner Veltliner — all produced from carefully selected vineyard sites around the region.
Rather than using high-yield valley-floor fruit, Jules works with smaller vineyard parcels on the margins of Marlborough, where hillside sites and clay soils produce wines with more texture, character and complexity.
A relaxed and informal evening with one of New Zealand wine’s leading winemakers.
