French Wine Tasting Saturday 21st November brings a deliberately focused tasting to Bath, England, United Kingdom. This two-hour evening unpacks the story of The Judgment of Bordeaux through six Cabernet- and Merlot-inspired blends from five continents, presented at a small-table format that favors conversation as much as comparison. The tasting traces the 1976 blind event that upended wine hierarchies—the Judgement of Paris—by offering a global roll call: Lady of Abundance, Groot Constantia (South Africa); Killka Salentein, Valle de Uco (Argentina); Hebo Petra, Tuscany (Italy); Château Oumsiyat Grande Réserve, Mount Lebanon (Lebanon); Bull Ant, Lake Breeze, South Australia; and Château Lestrille, Bordeaux Supérieur (France). Each pour highlights stylistic differences in oak, ripeness and tannin, revealing how regional soils and climates shape Cabernet and Merlot expressions. Light nibbles are included to stretch the tasting across the palette; guests can also pre-order a pizza for £10 by calling 07791256635 or emailing [email protected]. Practical details matter: the tasting runs 7:00–9:00 pm on Saturday 21st November with check-in from 6:30 pm at the Richmond. Tickets are priced at £35 per person, the event is limited to twenty guests, and attendees must be at least 18. The format—six focused pours rather than a head-to-head bracket—lets you linger on aromatics and texture, making this an ideal evening for curious beginners and home collectors testing their preferences. Set in Bath, a city defined by its Roman baths, Georgian terraces and thermal springs, the event doubles as an urban outing. Arrive early to walk a few minutes around the historic center; the city's honey-colored stone and compact streets make for easy post-tasting plans like a late dinner or a quiet riverside stroll. Public transport and short-term parking are the most convenient options for evening arrivals. Why this tasting stands out locally: it frames the wines historically and geographically, giving each bottle context rather than treating the evening as a sequence of anonymous pours. The limited group size and the curated global selection create an intimate classroom vibe with plenty of time for questions. Whether you’re revisiting familiar varietals or encountering unexpected regional examples, you’ll leave with clearer tastes and a list of bottles to seek out. Booking and availability are handled through the referral link; expect a convivial, informed night that pairs Bath’s compact cultural charm with a smartly paced comparative tasting. Bring photo ID to confirm you are over 18, comfortable shoes for Bath’s cobbles, and a small notebook for tasting notes. The intimate group size means staff can advise which bottles to hunt locally afterward. Travelers from farther afield should book central Bath lodging so you can enjoy a relaxed post-tasting meal and take an easy evening walk along the river without rushing and plan transportation home.
