Over-18s wine tasting of six Moldovan wines, from a sparkling red to a Muscat ice wine, with bread, cheeses, cured meats and olives.
Coffee Aroma is bringing Moldovan wines to the city on Friday 30 October, as part of their Uncorked series. It's a tasting of six carefully selected wines from Moldova, a country that's been making wine for thousands of years but whose most distinctive grapes rarely make it over to Britain.
The evening starts with a sparkling red, which is a bit of a curveball for a tasting. From there it moves through aromatic native white grapes and indigenous reds, and finishes with a Muscat ice wine. The whole thing is served alongside bread, cheeses, cured meats and olives, so it's more of a slow, grazing evening than a quick flight. If you've spent any time with wine, you'll know that the indigenous varieties are usually the ones that actually tell you something about where the grapes come from, and that's exactly what this is built around.
Uncorked is Coffee Aroma's way of taking a close look at some of Europe's less-familiar wine regions. This one follows a Ukrainian tasting that went down well, and the idea is to spend an evening with a single country rather than jumping around. Moldova is a good fit for that: it's got a massive winemaking tradition, but it's still one of the quieter names on the British scene.

It's a small one — places are strictly limited to 12 guests, so it'll be a quiet room rather than a crowd. The session is for over-18s, it starts at 7:30pm at Coffee Aroma, 24 Guildhall St, LN1 1TR, and tickets are £30.
