JIMMY DOHERTY TO HOST A GOURMET FOOD & WINE TASTING SESSION September 13, 2008

Fresh from his series ‘Jimmy Doherty’s Farming Heroes’ on BBC 2, Jimmy Doherty will host a mouth-watering tasting session at Vinopolis, London’s wine tasting experience by Borough Market. Focusing on the best of British produce, Jimmy will be joined by Paul Kelly from Kelly Turkeys, producers of the now famous Kelly Bronze, and Nigel Bartle from Cornerways Nursery, growers of 70 million ‘eco-friendly’ tomatoes every year. To wash it all down, Vinopolis’ resident wine expert Tom Forrest will be selecting wines and beers to complement this foodie’s dream session.

Known for his traditional farming methods and rearing rare breed pigs such as Gloucester Old Spots, Saddlebacks and Essex pigs, Jimmy will give an insight into his farming methods. Showing how his happy animals produce better, more flavoursome and nutritious meat, Jimmy will talk about the reality of using his methods in the modern world.

Time: 12 noon & 3pm, each lasting one hour
Venue: Vinopolis, 1 Bank End, London, SE1 9BU
