An Evening with Bert Blaize: Seasonal wine pairings and tastings

Hosted by Bert Blaize, the author of Which Wine When: What to drink with the food you love, join us for an indulgent evening. Bert has recently been named the UK’s Top Young Sommelier by Flint Wines and currently takes care of the wine at Serge et le Phoque in London’s Fitzrovia.
Learn how to curate the perfect cheese board just in time for those festive gatherings and enjoy tastings of several red, white and dessert wines — including one of Bert’s own.
