This group is for people who like to talk about wine, research it, do comparisons, have blind tastings, discuss the merits (or not) of different Denominacion de Origins, visit a few Bodegas and vineyards and of course taste it and appreciate it. We also hold a "Bring Your Favourite Wine Evening" and members might want to organise a look at their favourite D.O.s.
We are not out to get intoxicated (honest) as in tasting we will share one bottle of wine between eight people, but there will be six bottles tried in an evening.
We typically meet at restaurants for tapas and of course, you will have to buy the first drink (perhaps water etc). We will then share the cost of the wine.

Next meeting
Our last tasting pitted Rioja against Ribera del Duero - ending with a strong presence for the Ribera del Dueros!
Our next meeting will be on the 20th of November and its time for the members to take charge...... so we will be tasting our member's favourite wines.
If you'd like to come along, send us an email for more info.
