Meet The Winemaker Dinners at Gaucho

Throughout the month of September Gaucho will be hosting a series of meet the winemaker dinners exclusively for Club G members.

Sonvida at Gaucho Chancery
Thursday 22nd September, 7pm
Gaucho, Chancery Lane
£70 RSVP to Hollie at Gaucho Chancery

David Smith, journalist, turned diplomat, turned winemaker, owner of SonVida, one of our Super Malbecs from Altamira in Mendoza, will be hosting a wine dinner at our Gaucho Chancery.

David has a very unique take on the trials and tribulations, highs and lows, of the wine business. He and his Argentine wife bought a farmer's field, planted a vineyard, and have produced a wine that afficionados love -- 'SonVida is a wine worth looking out for,' according to Jancis Robinson, 'the velvety seduction of high-altitude Malbec.' It's all in a book that David wrote a few months back, title 'Dream On'.

For 25 years David was chief Foreign Correspondent for ITN, being one of the founders of Channel Four News, and the programme's award-winning Bureau Chief in Moscow and Washington DC. Since leaving journalism, he has represented the UN, as an adviser to the Secretary-General. He spends his time between Buenos Aires and Mendoza.
