On 16th March we hosted a Sake and Sherry night in Richmond at The Old Ship. Much fun was had by all. In total we tasted 6 sake and 5 sherries, making for a very merry evening. Sarah Wedgbury talked us through the delights of the Japanese rice wines, while our very own David Swaddle's session swigged through sherry.

We're very excited about these, as they represent a really good value way for people to learn about wine and try some different wines.
