Wine In The City

Edinburgh Wine School

Do you know your Manzanilla from your Pedro-Ximénez? Your Ribera Del-Duero from your Gerverstraminer? Of course you don't, so you're the perfect candidate for the Edinburgh Wine School. Don't be fooled by grandiose chandeliers, posh people in suits and operatic music, the objective is to have fun. Despite struggling to control her crowd somewhat, the knowledgeable and endearing guide Margaret makes the night. She could talk you into your grave about the benefits of the soil pH in southeast Spain if wanted to, but she chooses to keep it light and entertaining. By the end you'll have grasped the Sniff, Swirl, Slurp routine, have some interesting titbits about the country in study, and consumed a vast quantity of truly gorgeous wine.
