2012

The first event that Slow food Norwich will be holding in 2012 will be in co operation with the Raffles restaurant group in Norwich. The Raffles group hold monthly wine events at several of their restaurants and because of the Slow Wine tie in with Slow food Norwich, Jayne Raffles asked if we could supply a selection wines from the Le Marche region of Italy on January 25th. There will also be a typical Le Marche meal for guests and an Italian wine specialist to give a talk on both the wines and the Le Marche region.
