Shropshire Food Confidential (aka “SFC”) has very kindly let me add a guest post about this forthcoming event at the Hive on Belmont. Basically, it is an idea that they saw at the Electric Cinema in Birmingham, that was too impractical for us to go to (we would not have got back to Shrewsbury by train until 1am on a weekday), of screening one of my favourite films of the 21st century, Sideways, and certainly one of the all time great films about food and drink, and combining it with one of Howard Hutchin’s informal wine tastings. SFC and I are lucky enough to be in a wine club with Howard, and we love his choice of wines and also his ability to point out why a wine is considered to be great without pontificating in the way so many of those wine aficionados (bores) invariably do.
I could go on and on about how great the film is but our wine club has posted about the event here. SFC and I can’t wait.
