Discovery Evening from the Thames Valley Wine School tasting Chile and Argentine wines with a two-hour presentation by the host.
World of Wine: Discover South America! comes to the Reading Biscuit Factory on Wednesday 28 April 2027, starting at 7:00pm. It's a wine tasting evening focusing on Chile and Argentina, with tasting, notes, and a two-hour presentation. The night is part of the 'Discovery Evenings' series run by the Thames Valley Wine School, which looks closely at wines from specific countries or regions around the world, showcasing some of the best and offering a chance to taste special and unique bottles. The school is part of the Local Wine School Network, which they describe as the world's fastest-growing network of independent wine schools.
The sessions are hosted by Alex, who presents wines he's discovered on his travels and occasionally brings the winemaker along so you can hear it direct from the horse's mouth. This particular evening focuses on South America, and the notes point out that while Chile and Argentina share modern success stories, they have very different approaches to their winemaking. You'll taste through both, with the two-hour presentation filling in the gaps on why they've turned out so differently.
