So, The AGM. As usual we had wines by the committee – plus yours truly.
The theme was “Your personal favourite (or close) at an affordable price”. Interestingly 7 of the 8 were from Europe, with the 8th from South Africa, so no new world or antipodean wine at all. 4 whites, 4 reds. The prices are a bit of a movable feast, as several of the wines were bought on various offers – 25% off, 33% off, Majestic Mix 6 etc…
Casal de Ventozela, Vinho Verde, Majestic– Arinto 10.5% (Portugal) - £9.50 (Mix 6)
