Saturday Tasting
Spirit of Strangford Lough
Join us this September as we throw open the doors to Bordeaux. Over two days, our tasting room will become a hub for exploring the region’s incredible diversity - from timeless classics to innovative, modern styles.
Stroll between three themed tables:
• ‘Fine Wine & En Primeur’: Discover Bordeaux at its best, where a modest upgrade in spend can lead to truly memorable wine experiences. We’ll also introduce the unique ‘en primeur’ system - your chance to secure exceptional releases from top châteaux before they’re bottled, and an exciting way to begin your wine-collecting journey.
• ‘Affordable Bordeaux’: Proof that great Bordeaux doesn’t have to break the bank. Taste vibrant whites, complex reds, and even a luscious dessert wine - all offering remarkable value.
• ‘Alternative Bordeaux’: Think Bordeaux is stuck in the past? Think again! Meet the new wave of Bordeaux: innovative and sometimes unconventional winemakers putting a fresh spin on this historic region.
Our Fine Wine Manager, Alex, and the JN Team will be on hand with stories, insights, and recommendations, plus a few tasty nibbles to keep you going.
Whether you’re a devoted claret enthusiast or simply curious to discover what Bordeaux has to offer, this is your chance to explore, taste, and perhaps take home a new favourite.
Free to attend - just drop in and enjoy!
