Reviews of past events:

  • Saturday 21 January 2006: The Second Oxford Wine Forum at Wolfson College, Oxford - 10am-5pm. We tasted and learnt more about some of the great wines of the world from four leading experts who wowed us on their special subjects!

Anthony Barne MW, Wine Director at Bonhams, led us through an in-depth review of cool climate whites such as Riesling, Pinot Blanc and Gruner Veltliner.

Richard Bampfield MW re-ignited the great Pinot Noir debate with a comparative tasting of top notch Pinot Noir from around the world.

Stephen Brook, author of Liquid Gold and a world expert on dessert wines took us Beyond Sauternes.

Lance Foyster MW, Oxford graduate and Madeira expert showed us the finer points of that indestructible and miraculous elixir.

  • Saturday 16 October 2004: Oxford Wine Forum at Wolfson College, Oxford - one day event. Unforgettable. I still cannot believe that I tasted wines worth £1,000 for the price of a couple of bottles of good claret.
