Such a good idea; the perfect host!

Hi Fiona, I love this idea! I'm in Italy and have to admit I'm a bit unadventurous in my wine choices, I like sparkling wine and I can find lots of it here...so it's what I stick to.

Nevertheless, as a bistro owner, I feel I should be better informed about wine...so very happy to join in.

I do think a couple of questions from you to focus on would be a good way to kick off the first session. Wednesday is currently good for me too 😜

Looking forward to it already. Lucy

Will be great to see you in person, Lucy! How about bringing along a pinot nero if you can lay your hands on one? (You don't have to have tried it beforehand - just one you'd think looks like it might be interesting!)

I'll certainly have a look for one!!! I'll start some research!!!

Will the Zoom link be sent out nearer the time?

Fiona Beckett's avatar

Yes, it will, Leslie. There will be an update next week. And it's Wednesday 12th not 11th - sorry!

A Zoom BYOB at the Beckett Wine Bar sounds a good idea.

“You do NOT have to offer an expert opinion - just share what you like about it!”

I was very impressed when browsing the Alpine Wines web site (I am a fan of Austrian wines) …

The format they impose on customer reviews is:

“Interestingness” rated by 0-5 stars

“Value” rated by 0-5 stars

But they also allow a short comment can be added!
