Presented by Chris Horridge of Altus wines, we slurped down a range of the Chilean Casillero del Diablo wines.
Although these wines are well known and widely available, there were a couple of new ones I'd not seen before. In order we had
Brut Reserva Sparkling 2009 - £10.oo
Sauvignon blanc 2010 - £7.49
Chardonnay Casablanca 2009 - £7.49
Viognier 2010 - £7.49
Pinot Noir 2009 - £7.49
Carmenere 2009 - £7.49
Reserva Privada Cabernet Syrah 2007 - £10.00
Late Harvest Dessert 2008 £6.00 (1/2 bottle)
All good stuff. The pinot was pretty good - although as a non fan of pinot I passed on it, and I thought the chardonnay was only so-so.
Tempted by the offer of some jolly good discounts on the night, several of us bought some - I had some of the Sauvignon and Viognier, and the Cabernet/Syrah and the Carmenere.
All in all, a good evening - and a great turnout of 37 members.
