Episode Details

Excitement is rising amongst The Wine Conversation team as the Royal Opera House Wine Gala Dinner and Auction approaches. John Stimpfig talks to Sarah Kemp about the world-class wines which will be poured, including Champagne Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle, 2014 Montrachet Domaine Jacques Prieur, Biondi-Santi Brunello di Montalcino Reserva 1999, Château Lafite 2007, and Taylor’s 30-year-old Tawny Port; the special recital by Jonas Kauffman and Ludovico Tézier (whose new album “Insieme” Sarah heartily recommends) with the immensely talented Aigul Akhmetshina. Sarah and John discuss the amazing auction lots on offer,  which include trips to see the producers, double magnum 1990 of Château Lafite and the chance to have lunch with Sir Antonio Pappano, who just conducted the King Charles 111  coronation and is a noted wine lover. . A few tickets are left, details on website.
