This month we will be tasting wines from Cambridge Wine Merchants, a merchant we’ve not previously featured at the Society.  Cambridge Wine Merchants was established in 1993 by two friends, Hal Wilson and Brett Turner.  They started with one shop in Cambridge and have grown to become one of the biggest independent wine merchants in the UK.  They keep a look out for funky one-offs and proper wine made by real people. They source many of their products from independent, family-run wineries.  You won’t know all the names, but they are confident you will enjoy the wines!

Our presenter is Robbie Rugman, who some may recall presented Gallo wines to us a few years back.   Robbie has been with Cambridge Wine Merchants since the end of 2021.   We’re very much looking forward to welcoming Robbie back to The Raven.

This time Robbie will compare wines from Australia and the Old World.  He’ll focus on four varietals:

• Riesling
• Chardonnay
• Shiraz vs Syrah
• Pinot Noir
