About this event
Hosted in The Wine Bar at Fortnum’s Piccadilly, this series brings leading wine experts to share their expertise. Join award-winning wine expert, author and internet sensation Tom Gilbey for an entertaining evening celebrating his bestselling book, Thirsty. Part memoir, part wine guide, Thirsty is a joyful exploration of wine, living the good life and cherishing each sip along the way, packed with unforgettable bottles and the characters behind them. As Tom says, 'this gloriously gluggable elixir is, at its heart, made to bring pleasure, to bring people together, and to make us slow down'. With over 30 years in the wine trade and a huge online following, Tom brings his trademark humour, expertise and charm to the intimate Wine Bar & Restaurant on the Lower Ground Floor of Fortnum’s flagship Piccadilly store. Enjoy a guided tasting of five wines served alongside charcuterie nibbles and lively, inspiring conversation, a Q&A and book signing.
