New Years Party

We had a very pleasant party, only spoiled (for me) by passport control at heathrow, the "pods" at Terminal 5 car park and an accident on the heathrow spur. Which all left me 15 minutes late, stressed and out of sorts. Anyway, the wines went down well; we had chosen the Italian wines from Morenos (the December tasting) with a Prosecco to start, a Fiano then 2 reds - the Primitivo and the Nero d'Avola. The highlight of the evening seemed to be the dessert wines once again. I'd bought 3 different stickies - a Mavrodaphne, a PX sherry and a Marsala. I thought it would be plenty - how wrong could I be!! They vanished like dew on a summer morning.....
The ladies of the committee put on a good spread, which got scoffed, so all in all, a good evening.

Those who weren't there - you missed a good do, and all for free!
