Top Tuscan's Dinner
Thursday 13th June at Sheldon's Wine Cellars, Shipston-on-Stour
For this dinner we will be featuring wines from two superb Tuscan properties plus an aperitif from our old friend Giovanni Manetti at Fontodi (an estate we have featured many times at our dinners). The first property we are featuring is Isole e Olena which is situated in a beautifully isolated position in the Western part of Chianti Classico. The estate has been run by Paolo De Marchi and his wife since 1976 and they are well renowned for their Sangiovese based wines plus Italy's best Vin Santo and magnificent Chardonnay, both of which we will be tasting! The second property we are featuring is Poggio San Polo from the famous Montalcino zone south of Sienna. This property was purchased by Valpolicella producer Marilisa Allegrini in 2006, since which time she has built on what was already a considerable reputation. Charlie Bennett our resident expert on Italy will be tutoring us through the wines for this evening and of course some great food will accompany these top drawer wines. Tickets ate £35.00 per person and advanced booking is required.

Champagne Tasting at 7.00pm
Friday 25th October at Sheldon’s Wine Cellars, Shipston-on-Stour
Our Edward Sheldon Champagne is consistently our best selling wine year on year and we can’t sing its praises enough. Its quality vs price speaks for itself and we have never heard of anyone who has been disappointed. It has sat quietly doing its stuff over the years and we thought it was time to bring it into the much deserved limelight for a tasting. We are pleased to be welcoming a representative from our Champagne makers who are based in Vincelles in the middle of the Marne Valley to take us through the wider range they have on offer. Tickets are £15.00 to include all wines and canapés.
