The first group met in April 2025 to taste and discuss the merits of 3 different Malbecs and Viogniers, and to have a nice convivial evening - which we did!
We meet monthly in a member's home, so the size of the groups vary.
As more members join further groups are being added.
If you're interested to know more or would like to join us please email by contacting Jan Dodd. We tend to communicate information via our WhatsApp group and plan dates as we go through the year.
The group is for anyone who enjoys wine - we're enthusiasts rather than connoisseurs!
Past and Future Meetings: 2026
| Friday 30th January | The theme to start the new year is the letter V. On Friday 30th of January two groups will meet at different venues and explore this theme |
| February 27th | Our theme for the February meeting was "Chile and Chillier", We sampled a wonderful fizz from New Zealand followed by a Crisp Chilean Sauvignon Blanc and then an Austrian Orange wine. Phase two consisted on sampling Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon; a Malbec and then concluding with a superb Carmenere. We tested ourselves when trying to match the descriptions with the wine and learned key vocabulary connected with winemaking. |
