Catena’s vineyards

What are you doing for Hallowe’en? You could stay at home and wait for small urchins to knock on the door and demand money with menaces. Alternatively, you could make tracks for the Butchershop Bar and Grill in Glasgow which is hosting a wine pairing dinner with Argentina’s Catena vineyard.

Mendoza’s Catena vineyard is well known for its exceptional Malbecs but they are also dab hands at producing remarkable Cab Savs.

Starting from 7pm on Thursday 31st October, Carola De La Fuente of Nicolas Catena Zapata winery will be guiding guests through a four course dinner all paired with Catena wines.

Tickets are £50 per person.
