Calling all wine lovers! Join us for an evening with Oz Clarke, one of the world’s leading wine experts, known for his phenomenal palate, irreverent style, accurate predictions, and enthusiasm for life in general (and wine in particular). We’re thrilled to be hosting this event with Oz to celebrate the publication of his new book The Vine is a Wild Thing, a guide to grapes, growers and gloriously good bottles, designed to inspire every wine lover – whatever their knowledge or budget! Good wine has personality, and so should a good wine guide. In this iconic and passionately opinionated guide to the world of wine, legendary writer Oz Clarke pops the cork on his lifelong love affair with grape and glass. Drawing on a lifetime of tasting, travelling and storytelling, Oz reinvents wine writing to reveal a fundamental truth: the more you learn and understand your glass, the better it tastes. Oz is the ideal drinking companion on your journey to better your knowledge and improve your enjoyment of wine – bursting with practical, inspiring and ceaselessly entertaining information on the modern world of wine including everything from sustainability to the essentials of how wine is grown and made today. So whether you are yearning to drink your way across the classic regions, or discover the new and unexplored, taste the greatest Bordeaux or find the simplest local wine bar quaffers – Oz shares detailed tasting notes on the wines he drinks and where to find them, unearthing hidden gems and maverick makers along the way. Rich with stories and infectious enthusiasm, this is the ultimate companion on your journey to understanding and enjoying wine. Let Oz tell you all about wine – don’t miss this great opportunity to see and meet him as he shares knowledge and stories ‘live’ in Oswestry!
