The Business Leaders Wine Club, Hove, 27/3/2024

We return to Curds & Whey in Hove for this event, where we will have David Deaves talk us through the selection of cheeses and charcuterie that have been selected to try with the wines for this tasting as selected by your co-host, Karl ElwoodMarch.  

The wine theme for this event will be the wines of New Zealand 🇳🇿

The UK remains a significant export market for NZ wine, with early pioneers like Cloudy Bay being instrumental in putting the wines from this part of the world on the map.  As well as tasting a Sauvignon Blanc from this iconic producer, we will also be tasting a range of wines from other celebrated producers that continue to push the quality froward.  Further details to follow.

We hope you can join us!

The Business Leaders Wine Club is brought to you by Karl Elwood, Sandra Murphy, Chris Mansfield, Alex Ryan and Mike Monk.

As always, a special thank you to our sponsors –  Inside Stories, The Great British Charcuterie Company, our charity sponsor Together Co and our Drinks Sponsor for this event West & Berry Accountants.
