Join Toppings for a special evening of English Wine tasting in the bookshop with the indomitable Oz Clarke – a long time champion of English Wines – as we celebrate the fully revised and updated English Wine.
The modern view of English wine is of a country amazingly blessed with vast tracts of soil suitable for viticulture, much of it almost indistinguishable from the chalky slopes of Champagne and Chablis. It is also of a country taking full advantage of the vagaries of climate change to ripen Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to levels perfect for sparkling wine, and increasingly excellent still wines. English Wine is a brilliant guide to where to find the best English and Welsh wines, from fizz, whites, impressive reds and even dessert and orange wines.
