Académie du Vin Book Club Evening With Andrew Jefford – Friday 4th November

Andrew Jefford is one of today’s most highly respected and awarded wine writers, a scribe described by the legendary winemaker Randall Grahm as ‘the most thoughtful person we have writing about wine’.

On November 4th, we present a very special opportunity to join him in conversation with 67 Member Hermione Ireland of Académie du Vin Library, his publisher, as he talks about his new book, Drinking with the Valkyries.

The Académie du Vin Library was founded by Steven Spurrier and friends and is dedicated to publishing the finest wine writing of the past, the present and the future.

Its credo of quality over quantity, but most of all choosing books for their readability, is perfectly encapsulated in Drinking with the Valkyries, in which Andrew anatomises the pleasure that awaits every drinker while simultaneously furnishing a philosophy of wine based on personal discovery.

Do join us for an evening of libation and illumination featuring a distinctive set of wines featured in the book, and where questions from the audience are very much encouraged…

Members will receive a copy of Drinking with the Valkyries on the night.
