Author Talk - Christopher Cooke

Author Talk 

Christopher Cooke

We are delighted to announce that author and sparkling wine producer, Christopher Cooke, will be talking about his latest book, 
Ancient Land, Pastures New at The White Horse Bookshop on Thursday 17th October at 6pm. This is a personal account of the trials and tribulations Christopher and his partner have experienced whilst planting a boutique vineyard, Winding Wood, on an area of ancient pasture in beautiful West Berkshire. 

Christopher offers a monthly account of the ups and downs the pair have faced nurturing the vineyard's development over the past ten years - from descriptions of the passing seasons and grappling with a chaotic climate, to the pleasures provided by the helpers, friends and visitors who come to visit the vineyard or lend a hand.

In recent years, the sparkling wines from Winding Wood have won numerous awards. This year, their brut rosé won a gold medal and the sparkling wine trophy at the Independent English Wine Awards. The brut and rosé wines have also just won gold medals at the 
WineGB 2024 Awards. 

Tickets for this event are £10 each, (to include a glass of sparkling wine) and can be bought online by clicking here, in person, or over the phone.
