At the end of the month, on 29th of August, let’s drink some extraordinary whites over lunch. Back in January Linden hosted a dinner he called ‘Mini-themes’ where he grouped together wines with shared characteristics. This lunch builds on that concept with a focus on white wines grouped in pairs. Over lunch we will discuss what characteristics link the wines in each pair together beyond just the same vintage. The wines span the spectrum of well-established producers (Domaine Zind-Humbrecht and Weingut Zilliken) that are benchmarks for their region to producers that are rising stars in their region (Doma lpoine Dublère and Domaine Christian Clerget). We will cover a range of grapes (Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, Pinot Gris and Riesling) and winemaking styles too in this afternoon lunch experience. So, come thirsty and open to discovering incredible white wines on this last Saturday of August.
