Super Bourgognes: World class generics from world class producers
Date: 7pm, Thursday 16th February 2012
Price: £40.00Not many of us can afford to indulge in Burgundy’s most famous names all the time, but that doesn’t mean we don’t expect to pop such corks ever again. On the contrary - when Coche-Dury’s Bourgogne Blanc is as good as most producers' Meursualt 1er Crus, then we should celebrate the fact that the best generic Bourgognes can offer incredible...

Cult California
Date: 7pm, Thursday 1st March 2012
Price: £90.00Nowhere do wine producers generate hysteria like California. It is the home of the cult, boutique wine – made by a winemaking ‘genius’, in tiny quantities, with an artistic label and ridiculous price tag. Most of these wines are the preserve of reclusive collectors and once released, they disappear into a cellar somewhere to bask in the glory of their...

Roberson Wine School 2: The 'Where' of Wine
Date: 5pm, Saturday 3rd March 2012
Price: £0.00The second Wine School tasting of the series will look at the impact that ‘place’ has on the quality and style of wine.

St-Emilion: The terroir masterclass
Date: 7pm, Thursday 8th March 2012
Price: £95.00One of the most famous appellations in the world of wine, St Emilion’s terroir is nuanced and varied to the extent that there are at least five completely distinct sectors that yield wines of very different character and quality. This tasting will take an in-depth look at the appellation, focusing on the variance in soil and topography and illustrating the...

The Wines of the Rhône Valley
Date: 7pm, Thursday 22nd March 2012
Price: £40.00With the constant press attention given to Bordeaux and Burgundy, France’s third major fine wine region doesn’t always get the attention it deserves. It is no understatement to say that some of France’s finest terroir and finest wines are to be found in the Rhône Valley, with the sheer variety and difference between the north and the south providing for...

Château La Conseillante: The Vertical
Date: 7pm, Thursday 29th March 2012
Price: £110.00Tucked away in a privileged corner of the Pomerol appellation, with Petrus, Evangile, Vieux-Château Certan and St Emilion’s Cheval Blanc for neighbours, is Château La Conseillante. This 12 hectare property has quietly gone about producing some of Bordeaux's finest wines since its inception in the 1750s, and in recent years it has risen to become one of the darlings of...

Some of them are...

Roberson Wine School 3: The 'Who' of Wine
Date: 5pm, Saturday 7th April 2012
Price: £0.00The third Wine School tasting of the series will look at the impact that the winemaker has on the quality and style of wine. Whether they are technically minded or ‘non-interventionist’, the decisions they do or don’t make will dictate what sort of wine is produced. There are all sorts of different approaches to winemaking and this class will look...

Pingus & Friends: The wines of Peter Sisseck
Date: 7pm, Thursday 19th April 2012
Price: £120.00Despite being Danish, Peter Sisseck has well and truly established himself as one of the modern legends of the Spanish wine scene. His work spans a number of projects, but it is the wines made at his Pingus estate that have cemented his reputation and become rare and wildly expensive collector’s items. This tasting will look at Sisseck’s various projects,...

Battleground Champagne: Growers vs grande marques
Date: 7pm, Thursday 26th April 2012
Price: £40.00We had a great response to our grower Champagne tasting last year and many of you were particularly interested in a blind tasting that pitted the best examples against the grande marques that we all know and (some of us) love. One of the things that independent merchants like us love to tell customers is that growers give you much...

Roberson Wine School 4: The 'When' of Wine
Date: 5pm, Saturday 5th May 2012
Price: £0.00The fourth Wine School tasting of the series will look at the ‘when’ of wine, focusing on the impact that vintage conditions and maturity have on the development of a wine and when the best time is to drink up. Why do some wines age and others don’t? Why do people obsess about 2005 but not 2004? Among other things...
