Peter McCombie is a lot of things: a long time friend, a Kiwi, co-designer of the Flavour Wave, and, of course, a Master of Wine.
Our chocolate and wine pairing in March sold-out very quickly, so we decided to host another! We’ll tasting six different wines, expertly paired with eight (or more) craft chocolates .
With all new pairings designed by one of the best wine guys in the business, and of course our very own Spencer Hyman, this is sure to be another standout event.
This tasting will be held at the beautiful Fidelio Café in Farringdon. Perfect for a date night, catch up with a long lost cousin, a mid-week shake-out, and anything in between.
