On Thursday the 1st September, we did a tasting for the Ruislip WI. Myself, Jean and Esther presented "Old World vs New World" wines. Jean and I spent an interesting half hour selecting the wines at Sainsbury's - 6 wines (4 white, 2 red) trying to get a good comparison of old vs new.
The evening went well, but for me the most amazing thing was the great value we managed to get -- 12 bottles of wine for a total of £60.02 - thats only £5 per bottle average.
Loads of offers - 2 for £10 or 50% off, that sort of thing - all great value. To my mind the 2 best were the NZ Makutu Bay, at 50% off - £5.49, and the Jacobs Creek Shiraz at £5.61 (also reduced)
We had a great evening, and our pictures even appeared in the Gazette!
Many thanks to the ladies of the WI for inviting us, and to Kim Ford for all the organisation.
