Not Yet Names Wine Company - LIVE October 21st 2026 8pm - Then ON DEMAND

This month... you get the choice of what to drink! For the fist time ever, we will crowdsource some of the wines for The Online Wine Tasting Club. Jamie IWSC Emerging Talent in Wine 2021 will be joined LIVE by Alex Brogan, IWSC Emerging Talent in Wine 2023 of The Not Yet Named Wine Co, to taste some of his brilliant wines and discuss how his wine club decides what he is going to make! A bit more about Not Yet Named Wine Co Not Yet Named Wine Co. started with two Plumpton Viticulture and Oenology students (Manuel and Alex) trying to find a way to fund their own wine whilst studying at University. They never imagined the that it would turn into a community of wine-loving people; some of the members are studying for WSET qualifications, some have worked in the trade for years, some are winemakers themselves although most are just casual wine-drinkers who wanted the opportunity to drink a wine that they have helped to create. The innovation was to sell wine before it was made (pre-en-primeur in a way) and in return customers would receive those bottles once they are ready in the UK - but more intriguingly they would get a vote on how exactly we make the wine. Every time we faced a winemaking decision, we provided two or three good options to our members that would affect the style of the wine (not quality) along with all the advantages, disadvantages, risks, impact on flavour, etc. For example, when choosing where to mature the wine, our members could choose between a cleaner and fresher style aged in stainless steel or a more toasted and rounded wine from barrel aging. Then we put each to a vote and the majority won! Members can also vote on some fun things, like the name of the wine (hence Not Yet Named Wine Co), the label design, and even the music we play on the barrels...
