Christmas Newsletter December 2023
Our December tasting is traditionally hosted by the President who chose the wines for the evening. 57 members were booked in to attend this tasting but unfortunately several members were unable to participate due to illness issues.
However, 49 members attended in a convivial and relaxed atmosphere at A Bordo Club Nautica, Javea. There was no formal wine scoring and the wines selected were some that we had tasted before and some of the President’s favourites. There was also an interesting wine activity that was hosted by Sandy Fawle throughout the evening which ensured that every table participated to test their wine knowledge. The winning tables received a prize of a bottle of wine.
Photos of the tasting and wines presented are available on the Website
