We'd booked with John at Northern Wine School for a steak dinner with wine
tasting at a private room in Malmaison for a stag. Room was ecellent, food was
good and lots of it- John hosted the evening well. Great evening, everyone
thoroughly enjoyed- would highly recommend
Ben CosseySteak & red wine tasting guest
Please may I recommend Northern Wine School to anyone who wants to combine
professional wine/whiskey/sake education with dealing with life in crazy times.
Really organised, educational and allows me to drink with purpose.
Kristen BenderStudent & event attendee
We had a wonderful evening with John’s excellent wine tasting event for my
Step-father’s 70th. It was a great way to spend the evening with all the family
during a time when we couldn’t all be together. John was really informative and
some fascinating stories and facts! Really enjoyed it. Thank you!
Anna RimmerPrivate Virtual Wine tasting
I am very impressed on how effective the study guide for WSET1 helped me prepare
for my test in Brazil. I am almost sure I scored the 30 points and now feel much
more confident to try the WSET 2 and 3 exams having the Northern Wine School
study guide as an ally. Becoming familiar with the English wine terms certainly
will help me if I ever reach level 4
Robert GalbraithStudy Guide Subscriber
I attended the Level 1 course in Manchester. The day was a combination of some
theory and practical tasting skills. I learned about food and wine pairings,
which was very useful. John made the day interesting and fun
Julie LangtonWSET Level 1 & 2 Wines Student
Had a great time at the gin tasting with afternoon tea, really enjoyed it. Got
chatting with all the other people who attended, as it was a small group and it
was a great atmosphere.
Dawn MurphyGin tasting with afternoon tea guest
My wife and I went on the afternoon wine tasting event. We both really enjoyed
it. It was an enjoyable and relaxed way to spend a couple of hours while
drinking and sampling a lovely range of wines- and actually learning something
about it all along the way! John clearly also really knew his stuff. The whole
thing was good fun.

We'd booked with John at Northern Wine School for a steak dinner with wine
tasting at a private room in Malmaison for a stag. Room was ecellent, food was
good and lots of it- John hosted the evening well. Great evening, everyone
thoroughly enjoyed- would highly recommend

Please may I recommend Northern Wine School to anyone who wants to combine
professional wine/whiskey/sake education with dealing with life in crazy times.
Really organised, educational and allows me to drink with purpose.

WINES TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2022
The world is rapidly evolving around us, and wine is no exception to that. There
are new varieties, grapes and processes being created constantly, bringing new
wines to the market. Here we’ve listed our top 3 wines to look out for in 2022.
Croatian Wines
Croatia recently joined the European Union, and with that came access to and
assistance with, the development of their wine regions and promotion of their
wines. Like many eastern European countries, Croatia has some fascinating native
grape varieties. Though often hard to pronounce, grapes like Žlahtina & Plavac
Mali produce top quality, characterful wines capable of ageing. Also, did you
know that genetic profiling placed Zinfandel’s ancestor not just to Primitivo in
Italy, but even further back in history to Croatia’s Crljenak Kaštelanski and
Plavac Mali?
As Croatian wines begin to emerge on the export market, look out for them being
stocked in your local merchant at very attractive prices compared to their more
well known European counterparts in a whole range of styles- white, red, rose,
sparkling, sweet and dry.
New categories and styles in Rioja
In a bid to both protect the proud heritage and quality of the Rioja name,
whilst embracing new trends and tastes in wine, the Rioja designation recently
authorised a revolutionary raft of new grape varieties, single vineyard
designations and a brand new category of sparkling Rioja wines. Though the
launch of these were typically modest of the Riojanos, post pandemic they are
very keen to promote these exciting new wines.
Look out for exceptional fresh whites from Garnacha Blanca, Maturana Blanca &
Tempranillo Blanco as well as age worthy reds and interesting rose from Maturana
Tinta, Mazuelo & Graciano. Many producers are also forcing a rethink of the
abilities of Garnacha Tinta with superb old vine single vineyard bottlings.
Though currently only a small number of sparkling wines are labelled under the
new Rioja designation (many parts of Rioja are also entitled to use the term
Cava), this will no doubt be a growing category. Many of the aged categories
exceed even Champagne’s strict minimums!
Sherry Shake-up
It’s no secret that fortified wines are not en-vogue now with many wine
consumers. In an effort to expand the potential of the Sherry region and avert a
catastrophic decline in sales, the most radical reforms for the past 50 years
were brought in. These included a wider use of grape varieties, some not seen
for centuries, and the practice of ‘fortifying’ (adding neutral alcohol to the
wine to increase %abv) no longer being required if the natural sugar ripeness in
the grapes allows for an alcohol level of 15%abv or above. There are more
changes being discussed, including dropping minimum ageing requirements. We may
start to see lighter styles and table wines appear once again from the region.

WHAT IS SAKE? EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW!
Sake is a fermented rice-based alcoholic drink. Traditionally associated with
Japan, where it originated from, it is now made all around the world. Contrary
to popular belief, it is not a ‘rice wine,’ type of beer, or distilled- it is
not a spirit either. Because of the unique brewing process, and the special
strains of yeast used in its production, it has naturally higher levels of
alcohol than most wines or beers. However, typically it is between 13-20%abv
which puts it in line with the strength of most wines.
Just like wine, there are special varieties of rice used in Sake’s production
each with its own qualities that shape the character of different Sake. There
are also many different styles, each with its own aromas and flavours. While
Sake is much higher in savoury, ‘umami’ flavours than wine or beer, you can also
find crisp, light & fruity examples as well as sparkling Sake and aged examples
with similarities to Sherry or Port.
How is it made?
Special varieties of rice are harvested, the grains are then polished washed and
partially steamed ready to be fermented. Sake rice is different to regular table
rice. It has an outer layer of proteins & fats, with the core (known as the
Shinpaku) containing carbohydrates. The more the grains are polished, the more
proteins and lipids are removed from the rice, and generally the lighter &
fruitier the style of Sake.
The bran and the endosperm are removed from all rice grains, no matter the grade
of Sake. This means that the natural enzymes that would convert the starch to
sugars are also removed. Simply cooking the rice would not break enough of the
carbohydrates down for yeast to use, so another organism is also used in
brewing- Koji. Koji is a mould, which is deliberately introduced to a proportion
of the steamed rice. The koji grows and as it feeds on the carbohydrates in the
rice, it creates simpler sugars as a bi-product. Once the rice has a healthy
population of Koji mould, it is mixed back with the rest of the steamed rice,
water & yeast. Fermentation begins and lasts several weeks to a month, with the
koji and yeast coexisting with one another throughout.
As well as creating simpler sugars that yeast can consume, the Koji mould also
creates additional peptides and amino acids, which flavour the Sake and give it
a more savoury, ‘umami’ rich character which is not found in beer or wine. This
makes the aroma and flavour profile of Sake unique, with characters like toasted
cereals, dairy, fruit & mushroom/meaty flavours.
Once fermentation is complete, it is then often diluted to the desired final
strength using spring or filtered water and bottled. Most of it is released
ready to drink and enjoy, but a very small number of special Sakes may also be
aged before release (look for ‘Koshu’ on the label).
Styles
It is very difficult to generalise about Sake, the best way to experience and
try it is to drink it yourself and ask the brewer, or knowledgeable suppliers.
There are however some broad categories that Sake falls into that may indicate
styles/expected flavours (but not always!)
Polishing grade:
Futsu-shu (‘ordinary’) Sake. This is not an official labelling term, and you
very rarely see it on the bottle. However, you often find it discussed or Sake
sold under this designation. This covers most Sake produced, with no
requirements for polishing of the rice grains or specific production methods
used. However this can range all the way from mass produced, cheaper styles
through to the small batch, experimental Sake of some prestigious brewers based
on the Tojis’ (head brewers) innovative philosophy. In general, price here is
the best guide to potential quality, but there are many fantastic value for
money options available for £10-£20. Typically they are more savoury, and
enjoyable served at room or warm temperatures, but not always!
Honjozo
The rice used has been polished to a minimum of 70% of the rice grain remaining.
Typically, these are a mix of grains (toasted rice/rice pudding), lactic
(yoghurt/cream) and savoury, umami characters (mushroom/meaty). They may even
have some light fruity aromas too but are often still quite full-bodied.
Gingo/Daiginjo
The most polished grades of Sake. 60% and 50% of the rice remaining
respectively. These are typically the lightest, most delicate and fruity styles
with pungent aromas of melon, lychee, apple, and peach. They may also have some
fresh, green aromas like grass/asparagus too. This is usually the most common
style for export markets, as they are especially popular with white wine
drinkers and great with fried foods and fresh seafood.
Other production terms:
Junmai
This means ‘pure rice.’ Normally at the end of the brewing process, a small
amount of neutral alcohol known as ‘Jozo’ is added to help extract additional
flavours, stabilise the Sake and provide texture/mouthfeel. Junmai style sakes
indicate that this has not been added, and in theory is more ‘natural.’ The
differences in flavour and quality are often very hard to detect though. Again,
this is popular with Sakes made for exports to western markets.
Koshu
This is a term for ‘aged’ Sake. The exact length of time and how the Sake is
aged is loosely defined, however. The most popular style is spending some time
in cellars maturing in large wooden barrels where the Sake begins to oxidise and
develop ‘rancio’ flavours like toasted nuts, coffee, caramel, toffee, dried
fruits & more savoury/gamey traits. There are all sorts of weird and wonderful
examples though, including some aged in new oak barrels that are used for
whisky. Whether this should be done is another matter entirely though!
Namazake (‘Nama’)
Like many other beverages, Sake is normally pasteurised before or after bottling
before release for sale. This is quite a gentle process, which helps stabilise
it by killing unwanted spoilage organisms, but also deactivating the natural
enzymes in the Sake that would continue to react and change its character after
bottling, often in not a desirable way. Nama is produced in small volumes but
has a big following with Sake fans. It is not pasteurised, in theory not
‘damaging’ the delicate aromas and flavours. However, this is the most fragile
of all Sake and needs to be drunk ideally ASAP after bottling and handled/stored
with great care. This makes it quite a risk when being shipped to far corners of
the globe. It can spoil very easily if not kept at low temperatures and out of
direct light.
The flavours of the Sake will also change quickly, even if care is taken
transporting and storing it. Nutty/savoury characters begin to develop, and
eventually, it will taste quite unpleasant to most people with ‘soil/mould’ like
aromas. However, it is worth seeking out. Just make sure its journey to you has
been a favourable one first!

THE COMPLETE CHRISTMAS LUNCH WINE GUIDE
Want to create a Christmas lunch that is guaranteed to impress? It’s all in the
wine! We’ve put together the perfect list of wines to pair with every meal
throughout Christmas Day to keep your guests amazed.
Canapes
Many of these are rich, indulgent pastry-based affairs. A good fizz is perfect
for these, as the acidity cuts through this and cleanses the palate. Sparkling
wines are also a great way to get any party started. Here are a few ideas to
suit every budget:
Sainsbury’s Taste The Difference Blanc de Noirs Champagne NV. 12%abv, £21.
A rich, aged ‘multi vintage’ sparkling wine made from red grapes Pinot Noir and
Meunier. Only time and the ‘Traditional Method’ of making sparkling wine rewards
you with these unique flavours. Aromas and flavours of bruised orchard and red
berry fruits with a pastry/brioche richness. This wine has soft, creamy bubbles
and mouth-watering acidity.
Bouvet Ladubay Brut, Saumur NV. 12.5%abv. Majestic Wine, £13.99
Crémant is the name for sparkling wines made in the ‘traditional method.’ They
are made from local grapes and can offer excellent value for money The Loire is
the biggest producer of these, and the town of Saumur specialises in it. This
classy example has notes of apple, pear, white flowers with a soft, creamy
mousse.
ThinK Organic Vegan Prosecco. 11%abv, £12.60
Made from Glera, a distinctive aromatic grape variety. This comes from the
higher quality, hillside vineyards of the Treviso region in northeast Italy. A
soft, creamy mousse with delicate aromas of stonefruit, white flowers & pear.
The main event
There’s usually a lot of flavours going on here, and not everyone wants the same
roast centrepiece so we’ve done our best to select some good all-rounders that
can keep up with the flavour party!
Turkey with cranberry sauce & all the trimmings:
Louis Latour ‘Grand Ardèche’ Chardonnay. 13.5%abv. Majestic Wine, £13.99
From an under the radar mountainous area in between the northern and southern
Rhone wine regions, this is a Burgundy beater at a fantastic price. Rich,
buttery & creamy with toasted oak and ripe orchard and stone fruit flavours.
Specially Selected Fleurie. 13%abv. Aldi, £7.99
From one of the Beaujolais ‘Cru’ village vineyards. This delightful light, fresh
red wine has juicy red berry character and hints of spice that make a great
contrast to cranberry sauce and stuffing.
Roast beef:
Yalumba ‘Cigar’ Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. 14.5%abv. Majestic Wine, £25.99.
The ‘Terra Rossa’ red soils of the Coonawarra in South Australia gives this wine
a distinctive, enticing nose of blackcurrant and menthol. Delicious flavours of
red and black fruits. The silky smooth tannins and crisp acidity of Cabernet
Sauvignon will make the beef melt in your mouth.
Denbies Redlands Pinot Noir. 12%abv. Waitrose, £12.99.
A juicy English Pinot Noir from the sunny slopes of Surrey. Perfumed fresh,
crunchy red berry character, with a hint of sweet spice.
Multi bird roasts/Goose:
Yalumba The Y Series Viognier. 13.5%abv. ASDA, £8.
This rich textured white from Australia has flavours of stone fruits, white
flowers and ripe citrus. Accompanies strong flavoured meats well, with a fresh
minerally finish.
Faldeos Nevados Torrontés. 13%abv. Wine Society, £8.50.
An aromatic specialty of Argentina. This is one of the few wines that smells
like grapes! Ripe orange & grapefruit, peach and candied fruits with a fresh,
zingy finish.
To finish
Mince pies, Christmas pudding and cheese:
Campbells Rutherglen Muscat. 17.5%abv. Waitrose, £12.99.
A unique sweet, fortified wine made in Victoria province in Australia from White
Muscat grapes. The wines are aged in barrels of various sizes in extremes of
outback temperatures, giving oxidised aromas and flavours of raisins, coffee,
toffee, walnut, candied peel and fruit cake.
Graham’s 20 Year Old Tawny Port. 20% abv. Amazon, £35.
Made by taking the fortified red wine and ageing it for prolonged periods in
large, old oak barrels. The wine slowly oxidises, creating baked fruit and spice
aromas. The longer it is left, the more intense it becomes. Flavours of raisins,
dried figs and prune, walnut, coffee and dark chocolate.
