Someone asked me once if I could make wine anywhere in the world where would I go next? England has always been at the top of my list. Teeming with potential, beautiful bedrock, a beguiling landscape, and a climate not unwholly like the one I already work in. And these two: @charlieherring and @w_a_l_g_a_t_e (@tillinghamwines)are on it. They are changing the world of English wine in their own ways. One in a 19th century walled garden and reclaimed fields in the New Forest, an experiment in Arcadia pushing the edges of wild(Tim Phillips); one in the soft hills of Sussex diving all in to an idea of Utopian diversity: a working and wholistic farm that revolves around bringing what's in the glass to the table(Ben Walgate). Their wines and ciders are unadulterated and unadorned in different ways and tell a moving, individual and real story of place. Hats off to both you gentleman for all the inspiration, generosity, and hospitality, and championing such an exciting social, cultural, and agricultural revolution in UK wine.

Well Informed Natural Wine Enthusiast*: What are you up to on Sunday 12th or Monday 13th May?
.
Friend of Well Informed Natural Wine Enthusiast*: Nothing much, why?
.
Hipster: You fancy going to a rocking event in Wapping called The @realwinefair ?
.
Friend: I am tempted, can you tell me more about it?
.
Hipster: It's at London's historic Tobacco Docks in Wapping, a really cracking venue. There'll be roughly 180 growers, pouring 800-or-so natural wines. Some seriously niche stuff on pour. Kicking Kekfrankos, poignant Pinot Blanc (from Oregon?!) and more amphora wines than you can shake a stick at!
.
Friend: Does sound pretty sweet, talking of sweet will there be food?
.
Hipster: The foods one of the highlights. Artisan foodies all working along the same ethical lines as Real Wine...
.
Friend: What if I want to get my geek on?! Are there seminars?
Hipster: A whole bunch! Ranging from the emergence of orange wine to the Portuguese natural wine scene...
.
[Eventually, after much ado, the Friend agrees that this is an event not to miss.]

For those who don’t have a Well Informed Natural Wine Enthusiast in their lives we’ve provided you with a handy run down of the the Real Wine Fair in the link in our bio. .
