We were delighted to hold this exclusive sell out event on Tuesday 27th<\/sup> September at\u00a0Langan\u2019s Brasserie<\/strong><\/a>, Mayfair, London.<\/p>\n

We were joined by the highly knowledgeable and jovial Filippo Frullini, Sales Director at\u00a0Bibi Graetz<\/a><\/strong>, who explained the history and uniqueness of the fabulous wines from their stunning Tuscan estates<\/a> in Italy. We learnt that production started in 2000 when Bibi, the owner, winemaker and former artist set about creating one of the great wines of Italy. Bibi Graetz produces a number of wines from his seven vineyards that total around 80 hectares, with more vines being planted on new recovered land that in a number of years will substantially increase the size of the vineyard. All of the red wine and the bulk of the production is vinified in Firesole, a small high altitude town that looks down over Florence.<\/p>\n

It was great to see hard core members and regular tourists in the Williams, Sjoblom, McGrory and Drabwell couples as well as Richard Kelly and his wife Ashley, and Rich Irwin with his children Ben and Elizabeth. From the investment side of the club Martin Jepson and David Maisey both attended bringing a guest each, and other friends of Jeremy\u2019s, Michael Kennedy and Tom Starkie together with a guest of Tom\u2019s, all of whom we hope will join the club.<\/p>\n

We enjoyed a high quality meal in Langan’s private dining room and started with our club sparkling favourite from Sussex, Rathfinny Classic Cuv\u00e9e Brut 2018<\/a><\/strong>, with the following wines selected to pair with the crab starter, beef cheek main course and assorted cheeses that we enjoyed for desert.<\/p>\n
