Wine Tasting Event at Jam Jar

Jam Jar Wine & Pinball Lounge is hosting a wine tasting on Saturday 7 November, run by the venue's resident sommelier, Dina. The whole afternoon is built around six mystery wines, all tasted blind, with nibbles included and a focus on picking up some blind-tasting skills as you go. It's pitched as a fun, informal session rather than a formal masterclass, so it works as well for couples and friends as it does for anyone just looking to try something new.

Because the wines are tasted blind, you're going in without knowing the labels, the regions or the grapes beforehand. The point is to trust your own palate and see what you can pick out on your own, and Dina will be there to guide you through the process and help you make sense of what you're tasting. It's a good way to get a feel for how to approach a glass of wine without any of the usual assumptions that come with seeing the bottle first.

The session runs for two and a half hours, which gives you plenty of time to work through the six wines without feeling rushed. It's for over-18s only, and tickets are £29.95 per person.
