Linen restaurant at Manchester 235 is putting on a wine evening for those people who have an idea of what they like but would like to expand their knowledge. For £30, guests can enjoy eight different wines paired with eight very different dishes.
With some classic wines, some common wines and some different wines they will be showing guests how best to enjoy each with some fantastic culinary partners.
This will include an introduction and advice from Selfridgeâs top sommelier Zon Moua who will be dispelling some myths and breaking down the barriers to make wine accessible.
Using examples from Linenâs wine list they aim to show how the theory and complexities of wine are not bound simply by the rare and expensive but are accessible for all tastes and budgets.
Fancy a hint at what you can expect? This should whet your appetite and tingle your taste buds.
