As our first Sherry masterclass sold out within hours we are delighted to be holding one more at the Merricks Store.

We're brightening up Spring by letting in the Andalusian sun, its deep-blue skies, dazzling white-chalk soils & cool, calm bodegas.

Please join us for this laidback Sherry masterclass on Thursday, 19th October from 5:30pm - 8pm.

Don't worry if you know nothing about the subject; this is a voyage of discovery where all you need is an open mind & the merest suspicion that Sherry is one of the planet's most underratedly wonderful vinous treasures!

Hispanophile wine guru Ed of Vininspo! will lead this visually driven discussion of Spain's most precious wine.

With a tasting of three distinct brackets (see below), we'll look at the historical, cultural & geographical factors that shape the way these unique wines are grown in the vineyard & nurtured in the cellar.

Tapas will be provided by our kitchen for what promises to be an evening of mouth-watering Iberian escapism.

Tickets are all-inclusive at $65 each & limited to 24 attendees.
