The romantic red wine from Argentina. You can buy it from UK stockist Hedonism, which has a large shop in central London and holds tastingvevents where your fee is offset against the price of buying wine. You can also buy this wine bottle from Wine Direct and/ or Vinissimus.

The Prosecco we tried cost recommended retail price R.R.P. of 33 pounds sterling a lot more than the cheapest in my Tesco supermarkets. So what are you getting for your family to enjoy or for a gift at a dinner party or special occasion?

Sherry from Jerez

sherry derives its name from the Arabic prunciaion of Jerez, a town and area. We learned about the solera system. Based on the word for ground.

Sherry is aged white wine which ranges in colour from pale to dark and stronger sweeter flavours.

The name Sherry is protected and was originally a triangle of towns including Jerez. But has been expanded to add in approved wineries across the Jerez region offering the consumer more choice of wines having the same region and method and supervision of quality.

We learned about this at a tasting presented to the trade, restaurant, bar and hotel owners, sommeliers, importers, distributors.

At the London Wine Fair at Olympia.

Other major events included one in Paris in January. Others in Singapore and elsewhere. And of course a London Wine Fair in London.one more day, then back again next year.
