2018-10-29 10:00 - 17:00 | Pelham’s Lords Cricket Ground, St John's Wood Rd, London, NW8 8QN, United Kingdom
It’s with great pleasure that the Association des Champagnes Biologiques (ACB) would like to invite you to its First Official Organic Champagne tasting in London.
Certified organic champagne remains a rarity. Of the 33,000 appellation hectares, only 600 are certified organic or in the process of being certified. And if just 2% of the champagne production surface is organically engaged, certified organic cuvees make up less than 1% of the total production.
In this exclusive tasting, 18 certified organic producers from all over the region look forward to share their grape growing and wine making vision as well as their cuvees with you. We have opted for an intimate setting to stimulate proper interaction and quality exchange with the winemakers; however this means spaces are limited. Don’t miss out, and register now at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/first-organic-champagne-fair-london-registration-49215329375?aff=FBpageACB

New Zealand Wines 200th Anniversary Celebration and Annual Trade Tasting
2019-01-16 10:00 - 17:00 | Etc Venues, County Hall, Belvedere Road, London, SE1 7PB
Did you know New Zealand is celebrating 200 years since the first vines were planted in New Zealand soil? Yorkshireman and Christian missionary Samuel Marsden first planted vines in Northland in September 1819 although we don’t know if he ever made wine. Charles Darwin noted that grapes were among the fruits flourishing under Maori care in the Bay of Islands when he sailed through on his world tour in 1835. He was less complimentary about one of the local towns, Russell, calling it ‘the hellhole of the Pacific’. It’s one of the nicest hell holes you could ever wish to visit today.
Don’t forget to come and help us celebrate our 200th anniversary at our annual trade tasting.

We’re so excited to launch this initiative in London.

These designs will be launched on the evening, with both artists and winemakers present.
The goal for the artists was to represent the grape varieties of the Valais in artistic terms, many of which are indigenous to the area. They include Fendant (Chasselas), Petite Arvine, Heida (aka Païen or Savagnin Blanc), Cornalin, Humagne Rouge, Syrah and Pinot Noir. The wines will be available to purchase in the UK later this year.
The following wines will be shown:
• PROVINS VALAIS
o Heida Chapitre, les Domaines
o Petite Arvine, Maître de Chais
o Humagne rouge, Maître de Chais
• DOMAINE JEAN-RENÉ GERMANIER
o Johannisberg, Chamoson Grand Cru 2017
o Dôle Balavaud, Vétroz Grand Cru 2017
o CAYAS, Syrah Réserve 2016
• DOMAINE DES MUSES
o Heida “Tradition” 2017
o Cornalin “Tradition” 2016
o Syrah “Réserve” 2016
• DOMAINE THIERRY CONSTANTIN

Please contact Cristina Rasmussen for more details, and please do extend it to friends and colleagues both those in the wine trade, as well as wine interested friends. The event will be a casual format, with wine to taste, nibbles to be enjoyed and a DJ set by APEXAPE!
Please feel free to join any time between 5pm and 10pm.
