Viña Cobos - Wine Dinner

 

​

​

​

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hosted by Winemaker Diana Fornasero​

​In 1989, renowned Napa winemaker Paul Hobbs visited Mendoza for the first time. Driving over the Andes from Chile, he fell in love with the place and the people, but also with its potential to make great wine. A few years later, he founded Viña Cobos with intention of creating some of Argentina’s finest wines, in particular he recognised the huge potential of Malbec from different terroirs. It would be fair to say that now Viña Cobos is recognised as being one of Argentina’s few iconic producers and the wines receive great acclaim from the international wine press. Important to Viña Cobos is also its winemaking philosophy which is to produce wines using natural practices with organic principles at the forefront of their ideals.

We are delighted to welcome winemaker Diana Fornasero to Restaurant 36 on the Quay and this is a unique opportunity to let Diana guide you through a range of wines from Viña Cobos and to hear her approach to producing the very best wines she can. The wines will be paired with a special 4 course menu devised by Chef Gary Pearce and his team and this promises to be a very special evening indeed.

​

7.15 for 7.30pm
£98 per person includes 4-course dinner, an aperitif  and canapés,

and a glass of wine with each course,

with coffee and petit fours

A Trip through Southern Italy - Wine Dinner

Italy - `Enotria’ - the Land of the Vine is almost an endless tapestry of vineyards throughout its length but while the likes of Barolo, Chianti and Valpolicella in the north of Italy are justifiably world famous the wines of the southern Italy are much less well known. However recent years have seen a recognition of just what the south of Italy can produce and now regions such as Puglia, Sicily and Campania are making wines that are competing for attention with their more illustrious northern cousins. There is a wealth of indigenous grape varieties in the south and a range of styles that make these regions so endlessly fascinating.
So come and join Alistair Gibson of Heritage Cellars who has selected some of his favourite wines from the region to accompany a 4 course Southern Italian influenced menu devised by Chef Gary Pearce and his team, this should be a wonderful evening to enjoy a taste of Southern Italy.
