Sancerre Tutored Tasting

June 24, 2010

Connolly's have been working with Sancerre wines from Henri Bourgeois since time began.. well for a very long time. This is not laziness but simply because we believe that Henri Bourgeois produces the finest of Sancerre wines.

As well as a mind boggling range of Sancerres, Bourgeois also produce wines from Menetou Salon, Pouilly Fume and smaller appellations such as Chateaumeillant.

On Monday 12th July at 6.30pm in our shop on Livery Street the enigmatic Frederic Sureau from the House of Bourgeois will be taking us through a selection of these stunning wines.

Tickets are just £15 per person and will entitle you to some exclusive offers available that evening.

To book tickets please call  Sarah on 0121 236 926 or email sarah@connollyswine.co.uk

Tickets must be booked and paid for in advance of the tasting, spaces are limited.

At the time, it seemed almost like staring into a black hole, knowing that you had to take the next step but blind to whatever lay below. I remember thinking (and saying to anyone prepared to listen) that this was “our generation’s war,” we’d never experienced anything approaching global conflict and in 2020 we’d reached payback time, only to be faced with an adversary that responded neither to bombs nor white flags (nor bleach). Frightened for ourselves, for our friends and families and frightened for businesses and careers that we’d spent lifetimes developing, all we could do, it seemed, was to keep washing our hands and hope for the best.
