This Saturday, one of Manchesters finest steak restaurants teams up with the Cheshire Wine School to host a special tasting session in the chapel-turned-restaurant off Deansgate. The emphasis is on fun rather than po-faced tasting at these sessions which include the chance to sample seven wines and enjoy a light, Argentine lunch. Would-be sommeliers need only book for one session, and topics to be covered include
- How to taste and smell wine.
- How to be savvy in the supermarket.
- How to handle a wine list.
- The basics of how a wine is made.
- Common misconceptions.
- An introduction into food & wine matching.
- The difference between old world and new world wines.
