Garden Party at Sapiston

On the 16th July  wine society members enjoyed a Garden Party at the home of Giles and Claire Smith. Wynn was our chef, committee members provided extra food, Giles ordered and served an interesting range of wines and members enjoyed a fine lunch in the sun. Thank you very much to Giles and Claire for inviting us to such a lovely location.

Meanwhile we offer our best wishes to all members at this very difficult time, and hope that everyone stays safe and healthy over the coming weeks and months.

June tasting

13 June 2022

The tasting at Great Barton Village Hall will start, as usual, at 7.30pm.

Tony Wellings, identified my many as the ‘Australian Sommelier’ will present eight wines this evening. Four will be white and four red, all hailing from Australia and New Zealand.

Again this evening, members will benefit from a subsidised ticket cost of £8.50 per person; importantly, don’t forget to bring your glasses – the drinking sort, that is!

For those that enjoy the wines, members will have the opportunity on the evening to purchase supplies at discounted prices ranging from £12 to £22.00.

Cheques for tickets to Hazel please by 3 June remembering to put a note of the event to which it relates on the reverse.

What’s on for July? Plans are being put together for something a bit different by way of an outside event – due consideration being given to the vagaries of the weather. Watch this space for more details as the arrangements come together.

Meal at West Suffolk College

We are delighted to be going for the first time to the West Suffolk College for a meal, on Wednesday 25th May. Two members will choose wines to accompany our courses and members will decide which they feel best compliments the food. If you are interested in being one of the two anonymous wine choosers for this event, please let Wynn know as soon as possible. There will be a generous budget for the four wines you will need to select, and a worthwhile prize for the winning chooser (as well as a prize for the runner-up!) If you would like to have a quick chat about what is involved, please feel free to give Wynn a call on 07580 132568.

Please remember to bring your tasting glasses. We look forward to what should be a great evening.
