Cosmology and Wine: An evening with Chris Lintott

Chris Lintott - Professor at Oxford, Gresham Professor of Astronomy, and long-time host of the BBC’s The Sky at Night - will take over Nekter Deli for an intimate, interactive evening.

Explore a series of cosmic topics, each paired with some truly fantastic wines and out-of-this world small plates.

After we get to know each other over a glass of Australian PetNat (MJ Becker - Balmy Nights) ... we will be talking about the following topics:

1. Everything starts with a Big Bang - the Universe and its fate

Hobo Wines - White Light
Served with a mixed Cheese Plate

2. Black Holes and things that go bang in the night - Exploding stars and exotic objects

Thorne and Daughters - Paper Kite

3. Planets, prehistory and penguins - From the Solar System to the Milky Way

Benevolent Neglect - GSM
Served with a charcuterie plate

4. The bit where we (finally) talk about aliens

Ashes & Diamonds - Rancho Pequeno Cabernet Sauvignon

Your ticket price includes a glass of all 5 wines (further details can be found below) and the two matched pairing plates.

Our "Evening with ..." series are designed to be informal and highly interactive ... Chris will introduce each discussion topic in 5 minutes - with the aim being to maximise interaction and open discussion amongst the group.
