Wine tasting

Status:Active, open to new members
When: On Monday afternoons
2nd of each month
Venue: Members' homes
  • We usually meet on the 2nd Monday of each month
  • We take turns to host the meetings
  • Members pay £5 each to the host towards the cost of the wine and nibbles (eg cheese and biscuits)
  • Hosts can choose a theme for the wines
  • We aim to taste 3 wines during the course of the evening
  • All wines should be under £10 per bottle if possible
  • We discuss each of the wines in terms of what we can detect on
    the nose, palette, and how well it finishes
  • Primarily do we like the wine or not!
  • We score each wine out of 10 and the results of our tasting are
    written up
  • A report goes into the newsletter which hopefully may help other members
  • As a group is gives us an opportunity to taste wines we may otherwise not have considered and certainly helps us make decisions on other wines to purchase
  • All meetings are fun and include a certain amount of chat and banter
