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, fine wines from Fullers,
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

and in other parts of the world. There was a raffle with some spectacular prizes
includingn a bottle of 2eme Grand Cru Chateau Gruaud Larose '82.
