Still Prosecco

Aldi is shaking up the wine aisle with the UK's first Still Prosecco DOC (£5.99, 75cl). This innovative new launch offers all the vibrant, fruity flavours of Prosecco, without the bubbles. Made from the same Glera grapes as its sparkling sibling, this still Prosecco is bursting with flavours.

Yorkshire Heritage

Bevan Newton Johnson is heading to Harrogate Wines on Tuesday, May 20, to present a range of wines from this fabulous family-owned Hemel-en-Aarde estate.

Bevan’s dad, Dave, was born in Yorkshire and the family decided to emigrate to either Canada or South Africa, but they couldn’t decide which, so they tossed a coin.

So, Canada’s loss was South Africa’s gain because this estate makes the most elegant, silky, sensuous Pinots as well as Chardonnay and a rather good Albariño.

You will taste a terrific range of wines alongside cheese and charcuterie, all for £49.95. Ring Andy on 01423 522270.

Tastings at Latitude

There is a fabulous opportunity to taste wines from Serbia at Latitude Wines on May 8 at 6pm when Nikolo Salipur will lead you through a range of six wines, plus a mystery wine.

The tasting costs £50 and, as always you will be fed. Later in May, on the 28th there is a meet the winemaker opportunity when Germán Bruzzone will introduce the wines of Bodegas Garzon in Uruguay.

The story behind Bodegas Garzon is fascinating and the wines are exceptional.

Both tastings can be booked through the Latitude portal, but if you get lost along the way, ring 0113 2453393.
