Earlier in the year, we had a "Desert Island" wines, presented by members of the society, all volunteers. It was noted that all the presenters were male, so Esther took it onto hereself to persuade the ladies of the society to present their desert Island wines.
So we had
Jean - Cremant de Limoux £10.99
Wilma - Californian Viognier £10.99
Margriet - Scheurebe Kabinett Schatzle €7.90
Esther - Domaine Boyar Merlot (Bulgarian) £3.50
Sue - Californian Ravenswood Zinfandel £7.99
Maggie - Chateau Lussac (I think) St Emilion £12.99
Linda - Amarone £lots (I can't remember)
Sybil - Rutherglen Muscat £13.99
The stories behind most of these were fascinating, and apart from the Bulgarian Merlot, all the wines were great. The Merlot, however, was a nice reminder of those great days back in the '80s when Bulgarian wines were really good.
It was a great eveing, with a good turnout.
