The Grape Gals : A Holiday Wine Tasting · 21 December 2020 ·

We are Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. We stop at nothing to help give seriously ill children childhoods that are fuller, funner and longer. Because we believe no childhood should be lost to illness.

Story

The Grape Gals 
We all know this Christmas is shaping up to be a little different. Instead of the usual holiday parties, take the start of Christmas week virtual this year and join the Grape Gals for our first festive tasting. We’re so excited to spend the evening taking you through four delicious bottles hand selected by Ida and the usual questions and quizzes from Paige. All profits from the tasting will be going to Great Ormond Street Hospital, Infant Leukaemia Research 

The Wine
From Sparkling to Sweet, get in the festive spirit with four delicious wines from across the world.
- Breaky Bottom Cuvée Gerard Hoffnung Brut Traditional Method 2009, England (£34.95)

ALL PROFITS FROM THE TASTING WILL BE GOING TO GREAT ORMOND STREET HOSPITAL, INFANT LEUKAEMIA RESEARCH

Great Ormond Street Hospital, Infant Leukaemia Research
We are raising money for Infant Leukaemia research at GOSH, in memory of dear friend of the Grape Gals, Alice’s nephew Enzo.

Enzo was diagnosed with Infant Leukaemia as a baby, and tragically passed away- aged two and a half earlier this year. Infant leukaemia (affecting babies diagnosed before the age of one), has been described as ‘A thorn in the side of a remarkable success story’. Although there have been incredible improvements for childhood leukaemia over the past twenty years - where survival rates are as high as 90%, the main type of leukaemia affecting babies, is still not well understood and remains hard to treat.

GOSH are looking to find a cure for this aggressive disease and find alternative treatments to the particularly high-dose chemotherapy used in its standard treatment, and also bone marrow transplants, which in themselves carry a 10-20% fatality rate for these patients.

As always if you are not able to donate, please consider signing up as a blood donor! #Blood4Enzo
