This group started in January 2014.

The host for a particular month is free to choose three wines - one each of red, rose, and white (or sparkling). We have tried hard to vary the place of purchase, the country of origin and most importantly to keep the cost below £10.00 per bottle. The host's choice of wine has proved very interesting since it gives everyone the opportunity to taste wines that they may have otherwise not thought about buying. Also, what was thought as a good buy was found to be best when drunk with food, or some are just ideal for sipping with friends with snacks etc. We have also found that some relatively inexpensive wines have proved very acceptable indeed.

We charge each person £5.00 for the evening and reimburse the host with the cost of the wines. The names of each member of the group is placed in 'the hat' so that the remainder of each bottle of wine is raffled. The profit for the evening can be used to pay for a visiting representative from a supplier for example Majestics as well as contributing towards the cost of either a summer dinner or Christmas dinner or both or even a visit!

We are all able to relax and enjoy swapping views on the various wines chosen for a particular evening as well as discussing what we feel would contribute towards our further enjoyment and knowledge.
