Next tasting - Thursday 24th April
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 tasting
This month we will be tasting wine from the Valencia D.O .
The white and red ones come from the Angosta Bodega on the Santa Rosa estate, just north of Ontinyent. It's a lovely Bodega situated in the Albaida Valley,
And it has been in the same family for 4 generations. Visits can be arranged and it is to be recommended as it's a lovely location, and the wine and food they provide is also excellent.
