Status:Temporarily inactive
Leader:
When: Monthly evenings
Every 2-3 months
Venue: Member's Home

The objective is for this Group of appreciative wine-drinkers to meet every 2-3 months at various members’ homes.

The theme and wines chosen for these events vary greatly with those attending being given an opportunity to express their judgment of what’s on offer.

It’s an occasion for members to promote their favourite wine(s) and to share the experience with like-minded friends.

The number attending is restricted, with the cost per person varying depending on the wines selected and the nibbles provided.
