Dissent, Drink & Dine on Tuesday 6th December
Join us for our first Dissenters’ event for women only at Homa in N16 on Tuesday 6 December, where Natasha Hughes will be introducing us to some fine wines and pairing them with delicious food from the Homa kitchen.
Our Dissenters’ drink and dine evening is hosted by Natasha Hughes, who is [almost] a Master of Wine. Theory and practical passed, good luck with the dissertation, Natasha. There are only 300 MWs worldwide, of whom 79 are women, pioneering in a traditionally male-dominated area. Natasha is also an experienced food critic, a crucial point for us. Dissenters don’t do a long table full of wine bottles from which people pour a little, sip, spit out and make knowing remarks. We think food and wine go together like, well, food and wine. Natasha will guide us on our happy passage through four courses and six wines in a knowledgeable and jargon-free manner.
So treat yourself and your friends to an early Christmas celebration, and join us for an evening to celebrate women, food and wine.

A huge thank you, Natasha for such a successful event. Thirty four women went home well watered and fed, knowing more about wine.
Your informative views and informal approach allowed us to ask questions, get good advice and occasionally heckle.
The food was great, balanced perfectly with the wine and there was even the odd surprise thrown in.
We’ve already had calls for your return.
Love
The Dissenters.
Some comments from our members:
Dear Ruth
Marvellous evening. Perfect balance of education, delicious food and wine and fun! Thank you again for all your hard work in organising and running this event. Look forward to the next one, although if wine is on offer I must drink less…

Hi Ruth
I just wanted to thank you for such an absolutely fabulous evening yesterday.
The food and wine were excellent – Natasha gave it all more depth with her insight into wine and it was great to meet and see so many lovely women enjoying themselves.
A triumph I’d say.
I look forward to the next event …………….
Love

Hello Darling,
I just want you to know how marvellous the evening was. Thank you so much for inviting me!
The food was delicious (this chef has really improved things in Church Street). I’ve been saying this to S for the last 2 months. Things are looking up at last!
The wine was full of surprises…and I really liked Natasha and her warm and informal approach to things. She’s also very GOOD!
