Wine Making

Burgundy is the most famous, most terroir-specific, and most expensive wine region in the world for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Top wines can cost hundreds of pounds a bottle, but for ordinary wine lovers without a hedge fund to lean on there are sources of delicious, quality wines to be found. 'Affordable' Burgundy does exist! The tasting will start off with 2 bottles of Cremant de Bourgogne, sparkling wine made in the traditional method, Then we'll taste 4 whites and 4 reds from all the main sub-regions of Burgundy - Chablis, Cote D'or, Cote Chalonaise and Macon. Numbers will be limited to 12 people seated round one table, so almost a bottle of fine wine per person. During the tasting a selection of fine cheeses, pates, and other food will be served. **WAITLIST:** If the event is fully booked and you would like to join the ‘waitlist’, post a comment to let me know **REFUNDS:** The 'ticket price' for this event is £38 including £3 for paypal/meetup fees.

# Drinks @ Cahoots, Once a 1940s Air Raid Shelter, With 2 Glasses of Wine **Switch up your socials in 2026** Anyone up for an unusual social gathering for drinks at Cahoots? Join us for an unforgettable social evening of drinks and conversation. It's a quirky venue, good vibes, and like-minded people with post-war interiors. If you’re fed up with the same old socials, join us and try something a little more fun, quirky, and memorable. Because socials don’t have to be boring. This event includes 2 glasses of wine, food is served at this venue at an additional fee. **7pm - 10.30pm** Step into Cahoots Underground and let the Southbound and Northbound Platforms come alive with sensational live music that echoes through every corner of our subterranean hideaway. No matter where you station yourself, the rhythm of our live band will be on track to keep the party chugging along smoothly! **10.30pm - 2am Feel free to stay till the early hours if you wish** Retro DJ Mark Charade is spinning the sounds of a bygone era from vintage to vanguard, guaranteed to get you up and grooving. Join the Scoundrels in The Underground for live entertainment and jolly good tipples until the early hours of the morning. Many moons ago, a band of ne’er-do-wells and Scoundrels chanced upon a hidden treasure beneath London’s bustling Soho: the long-forgotten Kingly Court Underground Station. Once a 1940s air raid shelter, it had served as a makeshift refuge for all sorts, evidenced by the oddities left behind—old toys, piles of tinned food, dusty lampshades, and higgledy-piggledy furniture, all jumbled together in a cosy attempt at a ‘home away from home.’ When the Scoundrels unearthed this secret station after the war, they knew they’d struck gold. Splitting their operations between the Northbound and Southbound platforms—with the Tube Carriage proudly perched in Northbound—they set up shop, turning the station into their latest illicit hideaway. Here, they could keep the post-war spirit alive, flout the rules of rationing, and peddle top-notch bootlegged cocktails, all while throwing the most spiffing, swinging parties late into the night. **Price £20 Non Refundable Unless Cancelled** **PLEASE RSVP ONLY ONCE YOU HAVE MADE PAYMENT, IF YOU RSVP WITHOUT MAKING PAYMENT YOUR RSVP WILL CHANGE TO NOT GOING.** **PLEASE PAY VIA LINK TO GET A SOCIAL LIFE MEETUP BELOW** [Drinks @ Cahoots, Once a 1940s Air Raid Shelter, With 2 Glasses of Wine, Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 7:00 PM | Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/passionate-about-travelling-food-and-events/events/313020828/?eventOrigin=notifications&notificationId=%3Cinbox%3E%2112493109-1769182723941) **What's Included** 2 Glasses of Wine Meeting New People Coming out of your comfort zone Live band from 7pm DJ after 10pm Get Social Friendly Host Admin and Host Fees **Not Included** Food Extra drinks Hope you can make it as we travel back in time to the 40s, dress up if you wish in 1940's style, i definitely will be.

A fun way to compare wines from two different countries at a time. House Wine is squaring off two countries' wines against each other each Thursday in March. March 12, March 19, March 26, and the Finals April 2nd. Meet and Greet format....show up after 7pm, pay your $15 at the cash register, get your wine glass, and enjoy. I will get a table reserved for the group. Remember, you may bring in your own food or takeout. Attendance is your agreement to the Group's Waiver of Liability terms. See our Group homepage for details. Parking is tough at House Wine; there is a municipal lot one-half block north of the shop and sometimes parking at the lot behind Jet Pizza, accessed by the lane between the east House Wine parking lot and the residence to the east.
