Calling all wine lovers - and bookworms

Join a select group of diners for the launch of wine writer and novelist Malcolm Gluck’s new book at The Cinnamon Club on 21 January.

Château Lafite 1953 and other stories is a collection of short stories that all take the world of wine as their stage. As guest speaker, Malcolm Gluck, who has written nearly 40 books about wine and is a former wine critic for The Guardian, will speak about the book and his career.

Ticket holders will enjoy a drinks reception and six-course meal, with dishes including tandoori guinea fowl with mace and cardamom and pan-seared fillet of turbot with saffron sauce, courtesy of head chef Hari Nagaraj. Resident sommelier Laurent Chaniac, who has paired each course with a specially selected wine, will talk guests through his choices.

Tickets, priced at £90, include a signed copy of Gluck's book. Numbers are capped at 50, so booking is essential. If you love wine, don’t miss it.
