THIRSTY THURSDAY
THIRSTY THURSDAY
Back in 2021 – Nat wanted to know enough about what wines she liked so she could cope when Connal wasn’t around. He suggested a tour of the world of wine, tasting bottles, to work out what she liked and understanding how to find it in a shop or on a wine list. She told her friends, and lots of them thought it was a good idea, and a number of them joined us on our journey – and the thirsty gang was born.
While our membership may have expanded our aim remains the same – each session, we taste a wine, talk about it, work out if we like it, why, and learn how to find it in a shop, pub or restaurant.
And if you are lucky we drop some pearls of wine wisdom to help improve your drinking.

Season Seven
Something Delicious, Naturally
Buckle up gang, for the first time we are heading beyond our normal supplier to an independent wine merchant based up North – but you don’t have to cross the Thames, let alone learn what a barm-cake is – they do national delivery.
This season we will look at modern winemaking – that means under the radar varieties, value in France (sacre bleu!), natural wine and low sugar affordable fizz.
Interesting wines that are, as always, super delicious. Don’t be scared: Thirsty Thursday is here to tell you how best to enjoy these rule-breakers.
Season Six
Old Favorites and Spring Reds
With some new people, and because it was a long time ago we covered some super popular solid-5 wines, we are kicking off Season Six with a recap of Thirsty Gang favourites. We will look at white wines across three categories: zesty/zingy-Sauvignon Blanc dupes, floral and funky Aromatic whites and Neutral, Light whites.
Season Five
Winter Warmers. This season, our fifth, will start on 1st December - and take us through December, January and February. We have a selection of Christmas classics and winter warmers. Bold and fruity is the name of the game.
