Live music performances and encore-worthy cocktails inspired by far-flung places are on the menu at Oriole’s vibrant second iteration in Covent Garden, writes Christy Spring
It’s Christmas and we’re spotlighting the silly season. What better way to celebrate than with our special wine section? From the history of stilton – famously a yuletide cheeseboard favourite – to the joys of food writer Jo Taylor’s working-class Christmas, there is an abundance of festive cheer to be found within the magazine’s pages. On the viticultural side of things, Christy Spring heads to Franciacorta to check out the undersung Italian sparkling wine, Rory Ross cruises through Beaujolais and Molly Codyre looks at the wines aged underwater. Elsewhere, we highlight our favourite whiskeys, head off on a gluttonous adventure in Copenhagen and look at the history of Christmas beers. Season’s greetings!
