WINE APPRECIATION GROUP – A NEW VINTAGE
New members
The Wine Appreciation Group is an unstuffy collection of people who want to learn about and compare wines that will help us choose the best – whether for a daily glass, a dinner party or even a wedding. We aim to meet every two months in Faringdon or nearby. All u3a members are welcome and there’s no annual subscription, just a charge for each event you come to.
2021 meetings programme
20th July. We had a very successful Buffet Lunch wine tasting. This was a grand get-together for 36 members to re-connect after nearly 18 months without a wine tasting. See some pictures below.
Given the continuing uncertainties of the new normal we decided to fix just two more meetings this year, before getting back into a full series of tastings in 2022.
28th September. Tutored tasting of up to ten French wines by Ian Lloyd. We had a very informative and enjoyable tasting session with Ian.
7th December. Traditional Festive Lunch at Sadlers.
