BGB - Wine in Literature: a tasting experience with Oddbins

Posted by Annabel Gregory on January 20, 2016 at 5:29pm in Single Events

Thursday February 25th - from 7.00pm - Big Green Bookshop

“Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little music played out of doors by somebody I do not know.” – John Keats

Well, we can’t guarantee the serenading of music or the fine weather for that matter but we think John Keats was on to something with the books and wine. Which is why we’ve teamed up with the lovely people from Oddbins to offer you a series of five very special wine tasting events throughout 2016.

Each of these tastings has a relationship with the world of wine. Whether it takes centre stage, sets the scene or aids the course of the story, these books would not be the same without it. Each of the tastings explores a different theme and you will have the chance to sample some of the most delicious wines from Oddbins’ vast selection.

Run by Angela Cosgrove, from Oddbins, they will be held every two months at the bookshop, on the last Thursday of the month, 7.00pm to about 8.30pm. There’ll be a chance to purchase extra bottles of the featured wines at discounted prices on the night too!

FEBRUARY’s event is entitled Setting the Scene

The settings of these books are characters in themselves and the imagery told conjures the beauty of the wine producing land within which goes hand in hand with the quaffing of the local wines.

Tickets for February’s event are available at just £12 HERE. If you want to book ALL FIVE tastings you can purchase a ticket for just £50 HERE.
