This evenings meeting saw 7 members enjoy 7 outstanding wines from all over the world.
And then… the late arrival of our Treasurer and Social Secretary, Wayne, saw him share with us the joint most popular wine of the evening, together with the wine from our Secretary Jim. Wayne brought a Villarissa Grand Reserva, from the Douro area of Portugal and Jim shared with us a Santa Magdalena Balduzzi. So, by the end of the night it was in fact 8 wines enjoyed by 8 members.
The more observant of you may notice that there are in fact 9 empty wine bottles. The bottle of Jam Shed was in fact a decoy. Our Chairman, Dai Coleman, placed the contents of another bottle into the Jam Shed bottle. This caused some confusion when the reveal of the supposed “Jam Shed” took place. It then caused much laughter when we were told we had all been pranked by Dai.
The evenings raffle prize was donated by Talbot, a bottle of Port and Stilton, which was won by, drum roll please …
Alan, who won the raffle at our last meeting. Alan kindly shared the Port which brought the meeting to pleasant close.
