Our
Wine Tastings are held at least twice a year - usually in March and
October.
We have tasted Old World against New World, fine Italian wines with
Enotria Winecellars, Australian fine wines from Penfolds
and with Oddbins we have tasted Spanish & French wines
by region and fine wines from Greece.
Laithwaites have also presented tastings of fine wine from around
the world.
With the Australian Wine Bureau, we have also tasted Australian
fine wines, which included a generous tasting of an Eileen Hardy Shiraz
1995 (the current
vintage retails at £47.50 a bottle!).
Our tasting in October
08 looked at the wine grapes of Bordeaux and the wine they make both
in Bordeaux and in other parts of the world. There was a raffle with
some spectacular prizes including
a bottle of 2eme Grand Cru Chateau Gruaud Larose '82.
March 09 we tasted rare grape varieties from around the world and
the raffle prizes included a
bottle of St Emilion Grand CruCh. La Fleur Cravignac 2000 and a cased
