Hello and welcome to the blog where we will report on Press Wine Services events, tastings and thoughts on the wonderful world of wine (and food, of course).

This week we are involved in a get-together of artists for a Pure Hub event at Cobham which will be an international group from Britain, Holland and Belgium and English wines and beers will act as social lubricant!  We will feature Kent wines Chapel Down and Biddenden and Hopdeamon beers.

On Friday we are holding the second Wine Table at the Goods Shed where we will taste wines such as JB Adams organic Alsace Pinot Blanc and some organic Mallorcan wines by Can Majoral, new to the UK, and a classic Chateau Lacombe Noaillac. Tickets for this tasting are sold out but you can book tickets for our next two Wine Tables to be held on the 7th and 14th of December (7 to 8.30pm, tickets are £10). Send us an email at clivewine@aol.com or call 07778640381 to book a space.

By the way, there are still spaces for the one day Wine Tasting courseto be held at Deesons on the 24th of November. This should be a great day to answer all your questions about wine and train your tastebuds. We will taste 12 wines during the day which will test your palate and show you different characteristics of wine. We will also enjoy a delicious two course lunch with the wines. The cost for the day’s tuition, the wines, lunch and tea or coffee is £79.00.
