Event Description

Join us for two online sessions talking to local retailer James Thorne about his wine career and personal discoveries. We'll be tasting a selection of wines that tell the story of his wine journey.

Click here if you want to book for just ONE person.

Throughout lockdown James emerged as a customer favourite wine supplier willing to go extra miles to ensure our Zoom tastings run as smoothly as possible.

We have learned that James has spent time in South Africa helping to harvest and make wine, he regularly travels to wine regions around the world seeking new and interesting wines and he has a favourite country which helped provoke his initial interest in wine (Spain).

Over two consecutive Wednesday evenings James will take us through wines that helped shape his journey, tell us tales from the trade and share his passion for Spain's freshest new craze... Vermut!

Discover a crowd-pleasing Mosel Riesling made by a former Winemaker of the Year, an unheard of blend of Syrah with Pinot Noir, a dry Palomino, a Spanish wine that changed it's appellation because it didn't like what was going on with its local DO and more.

You will be invited to purchase from Thorne Wines a 7-case offered at an exclusive 15% discount with free delivery in sustainable recyclable packaging.

Note - you need only consume a tasting sample of each wine opened during the session and you can follow our wine preservation tips to keep leftovers for another day.

Simply book your spaces and we'll send a link for ordering the wines. We will also send instructions for joining the Zoom calls from a desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile phone. Zoom is proving to be a very sociable medium for wine tasting so we can guarantee you'll have fun! Each session will last just over an hour.
