Tasting Notes: Wine and Live Music

Welcome to Tasting Notes' debut at Queen of the South!

Tasting Notes is the wine tasting for people who aren't into wine tastings - a show delivered like a late-night talk show with its host and house band.

Sommelier & Saxophonist Charlie shows you what to look out for, how to spot the way a wine’s been made, and why the bottle appears on our shelves. He takes no responsibility for turning you into a snob.

Five wine samples are served over the course of about two hours, and between each one he jumps on sax and the band fires up, laying down an eclectic mix of jazz, blues, funk, bossa nova, and more!

Charlie might deviate from the show to read you some of his favourite wine reviews, or you’ll be quizzed on celebrity wine brands - anything could happen!

This a night where you can have your niggling wine queries put to rest. As long as you’re in the building, there are no stupid questions!

No matter how much you might know about wine, there’s something for you at a Tasting Notes show…
