Churchill’s Vintage Port Tasting
We are excited to announce a vintage library tasting of Churchill’s Port hosted by Churchill’s founder’s son and Churchill’s ambassador, Jamie Graham.
Churchill’s is one of the world’s foremost boutique producers of premium Port and Douro wines with a strong focus on vintage port. To this day, Churchill’s is still a founder-led company and the last remaining independent British port house.
Johnny Graham founded Churchill’s in 1981 and named the company after his wife, Caroline Churchill. Johnny represents the fifth generation of Graham’s to make port and wine in Portugal. Through Churchill’s, Johnny sought to bring a fresh perspective to the world of port, introducing his own unique dry style to a category surrounded by century old players.
Now in its 40th year Churchill’s boasts some exceptional older vintages which Jamie looks forward to sharing with our members. We will welcome Jamie on the 3rd of December, when he will talk to us about the world of port and take us through his family’s ports from the last 4 decades. Expect to taste rare vintages and single quintas which are hard to come by on the market. Jamie has spent his career working in the booze trade and has been a part of the Churchill’s team for the past 3 years. He has recently been working on demystifying port for a new generation of drinkers through Churchill’s latest direct to consumer brand, Port. Club. He looks forward to sharing some insight on this new initiative and talking about the future of port as well.

Quinta da Agua Alta 1987 Vintage Port

Churchill’s 1985 Vintage Port
