This month it was a
quiz presented by Peter Freeman. 8 wines with associated questions.
It started a bit
slowly, but developed into quite an interesting evening. The quiz was
quite difficult, but not too much – the winning team got (I think)
42 marks out of a possible 77. Peter did point out that setting wine
quizzes these days is quite different, as 30 years ago, they'd be
much more about prestigious French wines, while today, the world of
wine is much wider, and there's less interest in the French wine.
The prize – a bunch
of quarter bottles of wine – I think the chairman must have mugged
an Airline Steward at some point.
The wines were:
German – Ahr
Weissburgunder
Chilean Viognier
Australian Sauvignon
Blanc, Hunter valley (tasted blind)
Beaujolais – Brouilly
2016
Fronsac 1998
Cune Rioja Reserva 2013
Porcupine Ridge
Shiraz/Viognier blend (tasted blind)
Madeira – 10 yr old
Malmsey.
