Decanter's North American Editor Clive Pursehouse is teaming up with A&B Vintners' Simon Davies and the culinary team at London's Lorne restaurant on 14 November, 2024 for a deep dive into one of America's most dynamic wine regions. It will be evening with an incredible meal paired alongside some of the most exciting Willamette Valley wines available in the UK market.

Exclusively for Decanter Premium subscribers, North American Editor Clive Pursehouse comes to London fresh on the heels of his Willamette Valley 2022 vintage report to share his exuberance for the region with Decanter’s London readers in advance of Decanter’s London Fine Wine Encounter.

Join Clive and Simon Davies of A&B Vintners for a lively conversation and in-depth look at some of the top Pinot Noir and Chardonnays from this Oregon region.

An impressive selection of wines from the A&B Vintners catalogue will be poured, chosen specifically for this occasion by our North American Editor and A&B’s proprietor, Davies.

Guests will be treated to a special evening of rich conversation about the region’s top sub-appellations, Oregon Chardonnay’s ascent, and which rising star producers these two regional experts are most excited about.

The culinary team at Lorne has prepared a four-course prix-fixe menu that perfectly pairs with the selected wines.
