New Italians from Jk14 wines

Next Wednesday we are super excited to welcome back Francesca and her amazing father John Kirwan or JK as he known by. They are here to take us on a sensory wine journey of wines from their home region in Northern Italy, together with a collection of some sublime new arrivals from the South and the Island of Sicily.

John writes "I’ve been having a love affair in Italy, and so far it’s lasted 30 years. It’s okay, my wife knows all about it, and she understands. After all, she loves Treviso as much as I do, since she was born there."

"I want to share what I found with my friends and family back here in NZ… and hey, anyone else who wants a taste of something special. I hope you fall in love with Treviso as much as I have."

The tasting we had with Francesca and John two years ago rates as one our favourites ever. A night of stories, fine wine, great company and delicious food awaits.

We are also looking forward to an update on John’s very important work as an advocate for mental health awareness and support
