James is a BBQ fanatic and grills on a selection of outdoor cooking appliances throughout the year, even Chrismas Day! This is the masterclass for those who love eating alfresco and discussing the perfect wine pairings with the most robust of foods. A broad range of bottles will be opened.

Standard practice in wine competitions and professional beverage examinations, James will show six wines and serve them blind whilst explaining how the tasting sample is assessed, what to look for, and how to arrive at a conclusion. Sparkling, dry and fortified styles will be covered.

Leaving the classics far behind for the evening and heading to regions and grapes that offer diversity, elegance and value. James will provide six tasting bottles that will showcase just how some of these unknown styles really do compete on a world platform.
