Our May tasting will be looking at white Rhone varieties and blends - Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier. We'll be joined by special guests Rory Lane from Story Wines and Jeremy Pringle of Wine Will Eat Itself who both have a special interest in these wines. These are great wines with food and we'll be looking at a range of styles and blends culminating with a tasting of the very special Giaconda Aeolia Roussanne 2009.
