There are rumours of an English wine tasting event at The Grapevine wine and champagne bar in Rye’s Conduit Hill next Thursday December 12 which is the usual night for Cogan’s Cocktails.
And, as The Grapevine warms up for Christmas (never a problem when it is packed out), the local tuneful duo the Bling Crosbies are booked in on December 14 from 8:30pm.
The growing reputation of English vineyards (particularly local ones) has featured frequently in Rye News starting with the award winning Winchelsea vineyard pictured top in 2015.
Other articles have featured vineyards at Appledore and Smallhythe and the list keeps growing. The Grapevine’s “Tasting” from 7pm to 9pm at £25 a head may be well worth a visit, particularly as it is hosted by an expert along with (I quote from their advertising) “cheeses. meats, discounts, music and more”.
