The 67 Sessions: an evening of wine, words and music – Thursday 4th September
At 67 Pall Mall, we love finding new ways to bring people together to share fine wine. On Thursday 4th September, for one night only, we invite Members to join us at Westminster’s gorgeous Sinfonia Smith Square for an exquisite three-course pairing dinner accompanied by a wine-inspired jazz trio and words of wisdom from renowned wine writer Andrew Jefford.
Among the audience will be some of the world’s foremost wine communicators, in town for the following day’s 67 Pall Mall Global Wine Communicator Awards. There can be no more apposite speaker, then, than the widely acclaimed Andrew Jefford, something of a doyen of the wine writing world, known for his cerebral regular columns in Decanter, and as the author of several much-garlanded books.
The evening begins with Act I: Blend, and a glass of Laurent-Perrier Héritage, the house’s new prestige cuvée, along with some words from Laurent-Perrier followed by our Head of Wine Asia – and brainfather of the 67 Awards – Richard Hemming MW. Cabaret-style seating will accommodate tables of up to five guests, where your first course will be served as our illustrious trio swings through its first set.
Act II: A Matter of Interpretation brings a pair of superb Chablis to the table: two versions of Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru from local legends Lucien Le Moine and Julien Brocard. With Zaltos in hand, Alex Hunt MW from Berkmann Wine Cellars will introduce the wines before the ever-eloquent Andrew will deliver his first short discourse on this theme. Then, the band will strike up again as we enjoy our second course.
After a short break, Act III: The Art of the Trio opens with Scala Dei ‘Prior’ 2021 and San Leonardo 2017, showcasing a pair of masterful three-grape blends from Priorat and Trentino respectively. Following some more bons mots from Alex and Andrew, another dreamy jazz set will accompany our delicious third course.
Our jazz trio comprises Champagne specialist Tom Hewson on piano, former 67 Sommelier Nelson Pari on guitar and honorary wine pro Tom Farmer on bass – with a special guest appearance from Trish Clowes on saxophone.
By the time the evening ends, we promise to send you into the late-summer evening with a satisfied stomach, a stimulated mind and a joyful soul.
The 67 Sessions is delighted to partner with Berkmann Wine Cellars and Laurent-Perrier UK for this special event. Please note that bookings of four or five will be seated together at their own table, while smaller groups will be sharing tables will fellow wine lovers.
