Wine Masterclass, optional dinner. Wine to take you through Christmas Day

Welcome to our fantastic and infamous wine and food event. This one is going to be a little different from the norm. We are presenting to you a selection of 6 premium wines to get you through Christmas day. Starting with a sparkling for your morning, 2 whites and 2 reds for you dinner and a sweet wine for your dessert.

This month the wine is from around the world. The optional food is a deconstructed version of an Argentinian Christmas dinner, by our wonderful Argentinian guest chef, Romina Vazguez.

As regulars will know, the event is normally hosted by Charlie, he has been busy opening up Charlies Drink Store in Stoke Newington, so this month the wine Masterclass is presented by the fab Alix. You will not be disappointed!

Alix spent formative years in France and began her love of wine early with a glass of Muscadet in hand sitting on a Breton quayside. From there she fuelled her passion working in wine bars and exploring as much of their lists as possible.

After a stint as a cellar hand in South Africa, she returned to London to complete her studies with the Wine & Spirit Education Trust before achieving the WSET Diploma in Wines & Spirits in 2019. She continued to become an Italian, French & Spanish Wine Scholar.

One of her favourite achievements was the wine bar & restaurant she owned and ran in northeast London for over six years. The concept was Galician, with a hearty nod to northern Spain in general. Great excitement came in having her own wine list to curate.

Alix currently teaches wine qualifications around London, for WSET School London, West London Wine School and Liberty Wines.
