WINE TASTING EVENINGS
We are launching our first series of tastings for 2026. Across these four events, we are celebrating some of the world’s most exciting wine regions and producers. From the elegance of Tuscan Chianti and the high-altitude wines of Mendoza in Argentina, to the delights of Valpolicella. Noel will also be hosting a special evening where he shares some of his favourite wines, including those from his travels (and winemaking days) in Australia and his more recent exploration of the breadth of modern Spanish winemaking.
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.
Fine Wine Tasting with Noel Young - Wednesday 25th March - 7.00pm
Eight great wines, lots of information, lots of discussion and some excellent bread and cheese afterwards. Noel will have just come back from around three weeks in Australia (his first visit in over seven years and first since selling Magpie Estate). So expect some high-quality wines from Australia, almost certainly from Spain and maybe a few others that have really impressed. SOLD OUT
The Wines of Kaiken, Mendoza Argentina - Tuesday 14th April - 7.30pm
Kaiken takes its name from the wild Patagonian geese that fly freely across the Andes — a fitting symbol for the winery’s story. Founded in 2002 by legendary Chilean winemaker Aurelio Montes, Kaiken was born from his vision to cross the mountains and unlock Mendoza’s vast potential for world-class wines. Kaiken specialises in Malbec and outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon, including rare old vines in Vistalba, Luján de Cuyo, first planted in 1910.
The Wines of Allegrini, Veneto, Italy - Wednesday 27th May - 7.30pm
We round off our tasting programme with one of Italy’s most iconic producers: Allegrini of Valpolicella. This promises to be an evening that combines heritage, innovation and outstanding Valpolicella, across the Allegrini range, from the bright Vapolicella full of red cherry fruit and lifted perfumes to the intense, rich Amarone.
FOOD & WINE EVENINGS
Piedmont, Italy Wine & Food Night Thursday 26th March £70pp
Our next food night takes us to the region of Piedmont, famed for Barolo and Barbaresco, Dolcetto and Barbera, but also some awesome food, think slow cooked meats, fabulous pasta, risottos and great cheese. The menu will be available nearer the time. However it will be 5 delicious dishes alongside 5 specially selected matching wines.
We have two seatings at 7pm and 8pm so the kitchen can manage (we don’t turn tables!)
The menu will feature meat, dairy, gluten and fish - unfortunately we are not able to accommodate any special requests to change.
