Presented entirely by the Members and not a committee member amongst them, this was a fun evening. The premise was "Wines you would take on your desert island" - think Desert Island Discs.
8 members brought along 8 very different wines - interestingly no actual white wines in there
We had
Laurent Perrier Champagne - Stanley Thompson
Sherry, Palomino Fino - Keith Clayton
Spatburgunden Leopold Schatzle - Bill Maton Howarth
Pinotage (South Africa) - Phil Miles
Zinfandel, Californian Old Vine - Harry Boote
Sangiovese, Israel, Golan Heights - Roy Abrahams
Rioja, Marques de Riscal grand reserva 2007 - Harry Kourtellaris
Rivesault ambre, Andre de Vilanova 1985 - John Denman
The eagled eyed amongst you will spot that it was all blokes - so in August (or the next "in house" tasting) the ladies will be presenting!!
