The Wine Society have a free BBQ with wine online event on 22 Aug 2023 7:00 – 08:00 pm.
Join Emma Briffett and Ewan Murray from The Society’s Tastings & Events team as they share their guidance on pairing wine with outdoor grill food. They’ll discuss what combinations work well and which ones to avoid. Is it only about robust reds or can more subtle choices shine too?
You’re encouraged to prepare your own food for the session, trying out pairings as the conversation unfolds with an opportunity to ask your questions.
A recording of the event is available on YouTube.
