An evening from the archive
The History of Averys Through Wine
- Date
- Friday, 16 February 2024
- Time
- 19:30
- Host
- Mimi Avery, Averys of Bristol
- Theme
- Averys house wines — history of the merchant
Mimi Avery, fifth-generation Brand Ambassador for the distinguished Bristol shipper, presented eight wines all sourced and labelled under the Averys name — a sensible proxy, she argued, for quality and the company's reputation. Three whites, four reds and a Sauternes made up the flight, the evening debuting the club's new Friday format at St Michael's Church Cottage.
