Le Café Anglais launches wine tasting evenings
By Rupert MillarLondon restaurant Le Café Anglais has joined forces with wine expert Tom Harrow to launch a series of monthly wine tasting evenings.
Beginning on 4 March, Harrow (otherwise known as the Wine Chap) will conduct attendees through a blind tasting of five wines asking simple questions along the way in a “knock-out battle”.
Answer a question incorrectly and you must sit down. Last person standing wins a bottle of Bollinger.
Described on the restaurant’s website as “part parlour game and part tasting”, the “Who’s Wine is it Anyway?” evening is meant to be as much fun as it is instructive – and is largely designed for those with a good knowledge of wine to pit themselves against Harrow’s selection.
Each evening will start at 6.45pm and is designed to end by 8.15pm. Tickets are £30 a head for the wine and canapés, an additional £20 a head buys a two course dinner after the event.

This is not the first time that Harrow and head chef Rowley Leigh have worked together on wine tasting evenings.
Last year saw the pair unveil “Vin v Vino”, a “tete a testa”, which saw Harrow and Leigh pit French against Italian wines against each other over a dinner each month.
