Fine Wine Tasting – Burgundy

Loki Wine is hosting a fine wine tasting focused on Burgundy on Friday 29 January, at their spot in the Great Western Arcade. It's a single-region session, so the whole evening is dedicated to wines from Burgundy, rather than a broad mix from across France or the world.

If you're not already familiar with the area, Loki Wine is tucked into the Great Western Arcade at 101 Edmund Street, B3 2EP, right in the heart of the city. It's a proper wine shop, so this is a tasting run by people who live and breathe the stuff, not a corporate event. The focus is Burgundy, a region known for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and the session is built around tasting through a selection of wines from that part of France.

It's a tasting in the truest sense: you'll be working your way through a flight of Burgundy wines, one after another, rather than just sipping a glass while you chat. That's the point of these sessions — to see how different bottles from the same region stack up against each other, and to get a feel for what makes Burgundy what it is. If you've spent any time in the wine section of a shop and wondered why Burgundy gets so much attention, this is a good way to find out for yourself.

It runs on Friday 29 January at Loki Wine in the Great Western Arcade, 101 Edmund Street, B3 2EP. Tickets are £120.
