About this event
Fright Flight: Come face your fears! This Wee Focus is for anyone who's ever recoiled at a wine list—because the wines that scare us most are often the ones we end up loving. We're tackling three notoriously divisive styles head-on, served as a flight of 3 x 75ml pours. Join us Saturday 1st from 12:00–2:00pm for our Fright Flight: a big, buttery Chardonnay for the "ABC" (Anything But Chardonnay) crowd, a skin-contact orange wine that looks and tastes like nothing you've had before, and a glass of Pedro Ximénez—dark, syrupy, like a liquid mince pie. Expect everything from toasty oak and funky, textured intrigue to raisined richness and treacly depth—all united by their power to divide a room! As always, this will be a relaxed, approachable tasting, complete with cheeseboards. Perfect for anyone ready to face their wine fears—or simply looking for a good excuse to spend a Saturday afternoon being brave.
