Loire Sept 16 - The Bear and Ragged Staff

Loire Valley Food & Wine Dinner
Tuesday 27 th September, 6.45p.m.
The Loire is at the heart of classic French Cuisine and, though hugely under-rated, it produces some
stunning wines and, of all the principal wine producing regions of France, is extremely good value.
Think Touraine, Pouilly Fume, Sancerre, Saumur, Anjou and more. For those of you enjoying the
Sauvignon Blanc Grape, and we know that a number of you do, this tasting is going to suit you to a
tee, with a prevalence of whites on show to taste. Five wines to taste in the Snug before dinner and 5
