Andrew Davison, Director & Fund Manager, Vintage Wine Fund

Formerly a senior derivatives trader at Deutsche Bank, Andrew was Director of the Global Markets division with responsibility for one of Deutsche's largest trading books. In 2001, he joined the wine merchant Bordeaux Index where he established the first two-way market-making screen for wine futures on the Bordeaux 2000 vintage and was responsible for managing private client portfolios.

Tickets for the event are £47.50. This includes:

• A welcome glass of Champagne
• A Wine Tasting featuring a total of eight 'Sommelier' quality wines-four whites and four reds
• An opportunity to win a copy of Mahesh Kumar's book: Wine Investment for Portfolio Diversification: How Collecting Fine Wines Can Yield Greater Returns Than Stocks and Bonds

The Wine Tasting will be blind with tasters working in small teams to determine three things about the wines: the grape variety, the price and the country of origin. Tasters need not be wine experts. Teams will write up their conclusions on score sheets. At the end of the evening the winning team will receive wine related prizes.

Please note that the event is limited to 40 guests. Tickets will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. All tickets must be paid for in advance. Please register and pay for the event by clicking on the link below.
