Wine Masterclasses in Didcot
Post by Claire Thompson, Freelance PR Consultant, Waves PR
Chateau Pesquie,acknowledged as the top Cote du Ventoux (Southern Rhone) wine estate
A slightly unusual post for this blog, but this one’s just for fun. On November 1, friends at the Café Bar @ Cornerstone are hosting a wine masterclass evening. Third generation owner and winemaker Frederic Chaudiere of Chateau Pesquie, rapidly now being acknowledged as the top Cote du Ventoux (Southern Rhone) wine estate, is coming to Didcot, of all places, to share his knowledge and expertise.
Anyone who knows me will know that I’m somewhat partial to champagne and cava, slightly on the dry side. My grandfather was a wine judge, so I’ve always had a range of wines around, but I can’t pretend to be an expert. To have a fine wine grower over from France in as small a place as Didcot is somewhat surprising, but then, the Cornerstone Arts Centre has always been surprising.
Who knows? It could be the first of many.
Apparently the soil and height are factors in the good growth of Ventoux wines. I shall know more after the event. Which I shall do my best to report on, of course, but why not come along yourself?
