English cheese. No lectures. Just flavour, stories, and a better way to spend a Thursday.About this EventItaly is famous for its classics. But some of the best bottles aren’t the ones you already know.They’re the unexpected ones. The ones that make you pause mid-sip. The ones you didn’t know you were missing.This is an evening for those wines.Join Raise Your Glass at The Speakcheesy, Gillygate, York as we travel from the Alpine north to the sun-drenched south of Italy, exploring five wines that are a little different, a little surprising, and a lot more interesting than the usual suspects.Not the obvious choices. Not the supermarket staples. The weird. The wonderful. The quietly brilliant.Across the evening, you’ll taste five Italian wines chosen for character, contrast, and conversation, each paired with exceptional English cheese.Because great wine deserves great company. And sometimes that company is cheese.At the helm is Nick Fildes, our Lead Sommelier, with two decades in hospitality and a firm belief that wine should feel joyful, not intimidating.No lectures. No maps. No need to remember regions. Just flavour, stories, and the quiet satisfaction of discovering something new before everyone else does.You’ll leave with:A handful of wines you can actually talk aboutA clearer sense of what you likeAnd at least one bottle you’ll want to track down againAll hosted at The Speakcheesy, warm, welcoming, and made for a sociable evening out.This isn’t a masterclass.
