    The very FIRST EVER Wing Woman Wine Club!

    The very FIRST EVER Wing Woman Wine Club! We had our first Wing Woman Wine Club last week and the vibes were electric.

    Sunshine, stripey tops, glasses in hand.

    Everyone logged on right on time. Everyone had their cameras on. Blue and white seemed to be the unspoken dress code, and I loved every minute of it.

    There were 20 people signed up, and 9 brilliant women on the call, which, for a first outing, felt like the perfect number. Intimate, fun, high energy.

    Someone even joined who used to attend my Wine Wednesday Instagram Lives during lockdown. A total throwback, and a lovely reminder of how far this little wine journey has come.

    The Wing Woman Wine Club is all about building confidence with wine, one glass at a time.

    It’s casual. It’s welcoming. It’s here to help you read a wine list without panicking or defaulting to the second cheapest bottle.

    So many people tell me that the restaurant wine list makes them anxious! You’re never quite sure if that bottle is good value, which wine you should order and what it will actually taste like when they open it! And, worse, what if it’s corked?!

    You’re not alone, and this is exactly why I’ve created my new FREE London Wine Club.

    Every 4 weeks, I’ll host a relaxed 30-minute Zoom session to walk through real wine lists from London restaurants. I’ll show you what’s worth ordering, what to avoid, what foods to pair, and even recommend similar supermarket wines you can enjoy at home.

    You’ll also learn:

    • How to read a wine list like a pro.
    • Which regions and grapes to look out for.
    • What the wine jargon actually means.
    • And how to spot value on even the most overwhelming lists.

    My goal is to build a community of professionals that feel more empowered to order wines and impress their work colleagues, family and friends.

    The best bit? It’s totally practical and focused on your City life, think: Bank, St Paul’s, Holborn, Mayfair, and beyond. And it is FREE.

    Live on Zoom (monthly, 6.30-7pm, Mondays or Tuesdays)Includes recommended supermarket wines to try, a list will be emailed a week before. Ask me about your go-to restaurant, I might feature it. Optional Q&A.
