Next Meeting
Argentina, with Lee Isaacs
1st March
We are excited to welcome Lee Isaacs back to NEWTS to present one of his specialist topics: Argentina. Lee will guide us through a range of interesting wines, while proving that Malbec is just the tip of the iceberg. From Argentina’s signature white, to high altitude reds, we will learn that there is much more to Argentinian wine than meets the eye.
Lee has been visiting Argentina for over a decade and has gained a solid understanding of its dynamic and evolving wine industry. We will be taken on a tour from Salta to Patagonia and back again, looking at the county’s unique terroir and diverse grape varieties.
Lee’s background is in independent retail and education. He has managed the UK’s best independent wine merchant and achieved his WSET Diploma while doing so, moving on to become Head of Education at Oxford’s oldest wine school. An internationally sold-out speaker (and comedian!), Lee has taught and lectured all over the world and has travelled extensively around Argentina and Italy, as well as many other wine producing countries and regions. A panel chair at The Independent English Wine Awards, Lee is a published writer and runs over 100 tastings every year. He also co-hosts a wine podcast with Fergus Elias, head winemaker at Balfour Winery, called The Maker And The Merchant.
