Peak District hotel to launch fine wine room
Independent, family-owned hotel, Baslow Hall is set to launch a dedicated fine food and wine space.
Fischer’s, which runs the restaurant at the hotel will launch The Wine Room at Baslow Hall in early March 2018.
Fischer’s says it has created The Wine Room “with the specific intention of enhancing the overall eating and drinking experience”.
The room has been designed and built by local architects Bluecarrot, and features a temperature controlled “wine wall”.
A series of tasting events are planned over the coming months. Including; Meet the Maker, when guests can meet suppliers along with visiting growers to learn about wines from both famous and lesser-known vineyards.
As well as special events and collaborations, more of which are in the pipeline for 2018, The Wine Room will be available at both lunch and dinner for up to 12 guests. The Seasonal Tasting Menu, for which Fischer’s is well known, can be accompanied by a selection of wines chosen to complement and enhance the dishes.
Max Fischer says he has been a lover of wine all his life and along with Fischer’s general mnager and sommelier, John Cooper, curates the list.
Fischer said: “I have always loved good wine, but it was only when I met the late John Wynne of the Epworth Tap [a famous wine bar near Doncaster] around 35 years ago that I really began to develop my wine pallet. John’s knowledge of wine and his wine bar were famous in the North and further afield. John introduced me to many new aromas and flavours and helped me to appreciate the subtle qualities of wine. I have been learning ever since and still feel I know little, but my passion for learning and discovering is as fresh as ever and I love to share that with others.”
