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 bottle of
