Red Burgundy - Averys
Hosted by John Avery
Burgundy and its Cote d'Or are the spiritual home of great Pinot Noir. The region has experienced some tremendous vintages in recent years, most notably 2005, which is rated as one of the best on record.
Increasing numbers of people are bravely attempting to decipher the mystery of Burgundy. Our tasting will provide all participants with a fantastic guide to the complexities of this wonderful region.
Established in 1793 Averys has been an institution in Bristol for many generations providing wines for all occasions. Averys is proud of its independent wine merchant status, offering wines of flair, flavour and character often neglected by the multiple distributors. John Avery MW, the current chairman, is the fourth generation of his family to be at the helm of the business.
This tasting will be hosted by John Avery, Master of Wine, whose passion and experience will transfer into the six wines he will personally select for you to sample, enabling you to learn, enjoy and savour the beauty of Burgundy.
