August 2011 - Inhouse Tasting by Esther

Well, Esther gave us a cracking evening. After being very coy about what it was she was going to do, it was a fantastic celebration of her & martins 60th wedding anniversary, and a potted history of the 29 years of the wine society.
The wine - who cares really - but started with a fizz (oyster bay), 3 whites - a Bulgarian chardonnay, Hungarian furmint and an Alsace riesling. 2 reds - a beaujolais villages and a rioja, followed by 2 stickies - a mavrodaphne of patras & a PX sherry. An inspired selection and all accompanied by some great nibbles.
A great evening, and a great turnout - about 40 members
