Morton’s Wine Club / bespoke wine events
MARC Fine Wines hosts the bi-monthly Wine Club at Morton’s. Although these events are only open to Morton’s members we will happily host bespoke events for yourself or your company.
Though we taste serious wines these tastings are fun and informal and there is a quiz element for the competitive amongst us. Here are a couple of examples of what we do:
Terroir - A Dirty Word
Do wines really reflect a sense of place or is talk of soil types and vineyard sites just a colourful way to sell more wine?
We’ll taste wines in pairs to discover if there is a difference between wines grown on a slope or on the valley floor, to see if the same grape variety tastes from a chalky soil vineyard or one with heavy clay and we’ll taste the difference between wines from a hot and a cooler climate.
Is Rose Rubbish?
We’ve come a long way since Mateus Rosé graced our summer picnic tables and sales of quality rosé are rising year on year.
‘Pink is the taste of summer!’ say the retailers but critics and wine writers still largely fail to consider rosé as a serious wine and far and few are the sommeliers bold enough to suggest a food and rosé wine match.
Can it be that rosé really is just a bit of fluffy fun or is rosé really a force to be reckoned with? Come along, taste our line up and decide for yourself – we think you’ll be surprised!
