Duncan Ross of Berkmann Wines will be accompanied by Michael Karam English-born, Lebanese author, journalist, wine writer and communication consultant He has written numerous books on the wines of Lebanon including a history of Chateau Ksara.

"Chateau Ksara. is Lebanon’s oldest winery and its establishment laid the foundations for the country’s modern wine industry. It is situated in the heart of the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon’s pre-eminent wine-producing region. Winemaking began in 1857 when the estate was inherited by Jesuit monks, who began farming a 27-hectare plot of land where they produced Lebanon’s first dry red wine. Château Ksara has grown from the original 27 hectares in 1857 to 440 hectares today, split over 10 different vineyards, all of which are in the central and western Bekaa Valley.

A mixture of using French classical grapes and local varieties bring a brilliant selection of modern wines to taste"

Saturday 19th October 2024 - Wines of Argentina with Mark Bradbury of Ruta40

We welcome the return of Mark for another excellent selection of Argentine Wines, but this time it is going to be an Argentinian wine ‘taste off’ where we pit wines against each other for you to rate and judge.

"There will be at least four rounds of two wines each, one will be the Battle Of Torrontes; and in another you will have two mighty Malbecs going head-to-head; plus two more rounds where you'll need to decide the winner. It will be a challenge but it will be fun."
