Wine tasting is tough, but someone has to do it!

Mine host and owner of The Cave, Jon Crouch went to extraordinary lengths on behalf of his customers this week when he attended the Hatch Mansfield's annual Autumn Portfolio Wine Tasting!

The wine tasting event celebrated the fine wine company's 30th anniversary, and took place on Monday 16th September 2024 in a magnificent Georgian building at 116 Pall Mall in London. This historic building was built in 1828 and is also home to the Institute of Directors.

Invited guests from the trade and press had the chance to taste a wide range of wines and champagnes from the Hatch Mansfield's premium portfolio, they also got to meet some of the producers.

Apparently, autumn is considered the best time for wine tasting because it's the season for harvest hues and new releases.

Professional as always, Jon indulged in the wine tasting using the Multisensory Tasting Technique. This is Sight: Observe the wine's colour, clarity, and legs. Smell: Take a deep sniff of the wine to detect its aromas and bouquet. Taste: Sip the wine to experience its sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

After each glass, Jon of course then used the spittoons - or that's what he told me!

The sacrifices Jon makes to find new wines for his customers is truly magnanimous! 

Why not pop in to hear his experience of the day, and try a glass or two of the fine wines that The Cave have to offer.
